[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can’t afford a top school for DD unless I spend my life savings, which I’m not willing to do. But I’m sad that she worked hard in high school and can’t apply to anything that will cost more than in state. Her friends are applying to ivy schools because they qualify for financial aid and they can afford to go there if they get in. DD could likely get into a top 20 school but wouldn’t get merit aid there. Just a vent. [/quote] How did you spend your money OP? We didn't go on fancy international vacations. We watched others do this with some envy but guess what, now they can't afford out of state private colleges and we can. [/quote] It definately is a choice. And anyone taking fancy international vacations certainly could have cut back a bit and saved. If you save early, it doesn't take that much ($100K total can easily turn into 400K by time kid is in junior/senior year)[/quote]
