Are you kidding me? You call $32,000 workable? Multiplied by 4 years…a grand total of $128,000, giving up your home, no job, no winning lottery ticket, and you say that your daughter’s prospects for making a grandiose income will not be forthcoming. You are lucky you have good health. I believe you do what you can afford to do. I let my high school seniors (twins) know early on that our State schools provide affordable education. Though I did let my daughter apply to my alma mater which is a $50,000 price tag today and it is ideally her “dream school” she is perfectly aware that even with legacy and merit money it most likely will be out of reach financially. Plug in your coffee pot and wake up!
