HHI near $180.

4 kids.

Dc metro area.

Supporting elderly parents who didn’t save for retirement. I won’t make that mistake. [/quote]

You have a good income but too many kids.  You set up your kid and should never allowed it. [/quote]

Well my sibling died and I’m raising their kid.

Geez, I always knew Dcumlandia was a harsh place, but you people are particularly harsh. [/quote]

Then you get social security for the.   And you still have good income.  [/quote]

Offspring of deceased parents don't get survivors' benefits beyond age 18, unless still in highschool. It used to be the case that benefits continued through college, but that ship sailed in 1981 (thank you, Ronald Reagan).

This scenario is sad and made much more difficult by the expectations that the well-meaning relative set forth with the unrealistic and unsustainable "gift". You've said what you're willing to pay for OP, the student is going to have to figure it out on their own to some degree.
