[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are upper middle class, so not insanely wealthy like doctors, investment bankers, and executives. But the price of tuition is baffling to me. I don’t know how anyone can pay for out-of-state or private schools. It’s pocket change for the wealthy, and if you are low-income enough you get aid. Middle class parents have it the worst.

I wish we lived in Florida or Georgia. Those schools are cheap and provide solid education![/quote]

You can feel free to move there if you want.  Just do it at least 2 years before college

Ironic someone identifying with being UMC, is grumbling about college when they can absolute pay for it.[/quote]

Yup.

MD and VA have many excellent state schools.  If money is atruly an issue, your kid can find an instate school with excellent merit.  Yes, it likely wont be UMD, UVA or VaTech.  But there are many great choices and at most a higher stats kid would get excellent merit.

Your kid is not guaranteed to go to Harvard or any Top/Elite school for "what you deem affordable", but there are many good options out there that are affordable.  If you were not able to save, you do what most people do, you pick a school that gives your kid excellent merit and attend there.
