Just doing the math for my daughter's first 4 years of higher education and thinking... WOW, how are we going to do this? We haven't even been able to buy a house yet! Not looking for smart @$$ remarks, just sympathy I guess... or real offers (I know, yeah right) I am looking into scholarships, etc. My main problem is that we are in the lower end of what is still considered middle income and it astounds me what they think we can or should be able to afford. They don't take into account all of a family's other expenses! I don't think these amounts have been adjusted for cost of living in quite some time (gas and grocery increases?!) Saving money has not been an option since we already live by the skin of our teeth to stay in the school district we live in which we think is important. Real words of advice or encouragement? Our oldest has an A/B average. Not the top of the class, but ok.
