<p>romanigypsyeyes–well, I didn’t have a lot of control over 2 eggs fertilizing at the same time 
Maybe I am reading this wrong but what I am gathering from this conversation is that I will be paying 60% of our EFC for both kids (or could possibly be paying that much), meaning I am paying 120% overall, vs 100% if I just had each child go through during separate years–so I am being PENALIZED for having two in college at the same time. Sure, savings comes into play, but there is still a finite number of dollars there. Even if you have kids going through college at separate times, you still have the savings for the other kids “in the bank” so to speak. Why should it make THAT much difference if the kids go at the same time vs going 4 years apart?</p>
