I know what you are saying - but you have to decide - if school is $380K - are you “comfortable” - because there are schools you can go for $80K.
That’s a tough statement.
I’m full pay but set a budget - because while I could have paid full, I wasn’t willing. My daughter got into a top LAC but it was $31K over the budget. They offered merit but she earned none. So it came off the list - no discussion.
When you make a statement like that - college is pricey. If you’re willing to pay and will not second guess, than it’s no issue.
But when you make a statement like that it gives me pause.
And that’s why I suggested a few others.
