I wish I could pay for my kid’s college choice regardless of cost. I could be your parent in terms of the financial situation. By all counts, we should be able to pay for the college, but due a number of things it is not the prudent thing to do.$30K is what we should be paying, given the circumstances. We stretch it to $35, and it always ends up more like $40K with visits, unexpected expenses, gifts, opportunities. Really more than we can comfortably pay… My kids are wonderful. They didn’t even consider the top cost schools that did not bring the bottom line to where we set it. And I still hurt about it.
