<p>Today’s snailmail brought the fall tuition, health insurance, and housing bill from Reed; this morning’s email brought the fall tuition and health insurance bill from MIT (housing will come later). </p>

<p>The total is approximately (within $500) the cost of our downpayment on the first house DH and I bought together in 1983.</p>

<p>We’re not going out to dinner tonight, anyway.</p>

<p>we got the bill too except they didn’t deduct her stafford loan amount- I called them but of course they arent there on friday…
Ouch two bills at once!
We bought our first house in 1983 too but we are still living in it! :)</p>

<p>I told my H we are going out to dinner tonight however-not fancy just to Puerto Rican food in Ballard but since we are going camping next week and guess who gets to do the cooking- I wanted a break while the kids are out of the house.</p>

<p>Received my first semester bill from Georgetown today. It’s about $5,100. EFC: $10,200… some things were probably added, that and I’m planning on keeping some of my work study money for personal expenses…</p>

<p>Oh, dmd77, ouch, ouch, ouch. </p>

<p>We got the monthly breakdown from Cal yesterday for S’s room and board. It’s a tad more than what we paid each month on our mortgage 13 years ago. And that doesn’t count the tuition bill, which will be coming any day now.</p>

<p>How would you like to pay a big fat chunk all at once - September 1, $28K - first year’s tuition (as of today’s exchange rate - fall, British pound, fall, and keep falling for three years!)</p>

<p>We got the notification in the mail that we’d be ebilled on July 26. Same day, H found out that he’s being asked to leave his position on July 29 ( will be leaving medicine to student teach in a HS, but counted on August, anyway). So we’ll be living on my salary, which is less than a year of college costs, and our dwindling savings (no aid). Should be interesting…</p>
