Ok…so what’s the plan then?
You’ve indicated that you might be able to come up with about $15k per year…which in “university payment terms” is $1500 per month in “college payments”. If you can “barely afford” living in your expensive area, how will you even come up with $1500 per month for 4 years? Is even doing that possible?
Believe me, I’m not criticizing you. We see stories like yours over and over from the NE area, from IL, from Calif, and so on. People living in pricey areas often are almost living paycheck to paycheck, with little to put towards college.
Have you applied to any schools that she could commute to?
