@mommdc It’s my son, sorry I didn’t make that clear. He currently has a job so there will be some savings built this summer. He has applied for multiple private scholarships but we haven’t heard anything on any of the as of today. A few we know won’t be decided until June. I also found out he has the option to do work study
I know we can afford to pay some I just don’t have an accurate figure but I’m working on it now. Our medical expenses are going to be even worse this year. 16,000 premiums and 8,000 out of pocket last year and this year premiums, copay’s and deductibles doubled and our coinsurance costs also increased! It’s insane. We have an old car, rent, no credit cards,t but we are hardly making enough to save a dime. It’s only April and we’ve already spent 8,000 out of pocket not including premiums whic are now over 1300/month. Our costs skyrocketed this year and my budget is just no longer working! So that’s part of why I don’t have an answer even though I should. I feel so awful and embarrassed that I don’t know all of this. I’m very thankful for everyone’s help to get us on track.
Also we have a backup option of the Local community college. I’m trying to be realistic yet still push for his choice if it happened to become attainable.
