[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think people in the DMV just like to argue and complain. There are multiple recent threads about how college is way too expensive. People are panicking because the hundreds of thousands of dollars they have saved won’t be enough to get 2 kids through undergrad.

But in this thread people are explaining how they easily saved tens of thousands of dollars by graduating in fewer than 4 years, & half the people are like “What’s your hurry?!?” & “Smell the roses!”

I feel the same way about ski vacations to Switzerland. I can’t understand why some people go for only one week, when it’s more fun to go for 2 or 3 weeks. I mean it’s only money. [/quote]

Some people in the DMV want to get an education, either for personal fulfillment or as an investment in their future. Starting a career with $10K/yr higher income beats saving money on tuition. (Remember that rent and food cost the same whether you are are in school or not.)

Throwing away opportunity at the very start of your cateer is pennywise and poundfoolish.

So that thinking will work for you. But there are very different ways to approach it, including return on investment approach, acknowledging that $80-90k x 4 is a lot of money that can be used in different ways. I think many would benefit from doing some calculations just clarify the decision - this very much include college education for personal fulfillment.
