<p>Sooviet,I give education a high priority also but not above my husbands and my retirement and so I am considering options that will provide adequately for both areas of need. We all have to do what allows us to sleep at night knowing we did the best we could for our children.You have stated as much. My point is, there are those of us who don’t qualify for any financial aid and cannot justify accruing loans. Too afraid of a worsening economy, inflation or of getting laid off. Our property taxes are going through the roof but we can’t sell our houses. The water company wants to hike our rates 17%. Our government is trying to tax employee health care benefits and my husbands company is laying off employees. Even though we don’t make near what Obama quoted as the income level that can be expected to see heavy tax increases, it is obvious that everyone making a decent living will find themselves paying increased taxes of one kind or another. Maybe I worry too much, if I do I’ll leave my daughter a big inheritence to make up for the fact she didn’t get her dream school as an undergraduate. I won’t be a burden or a worry to her in my old age and that’s worth something! Anyway, I appreciate your views and I’m sure you appreciate mine, even if you live differently.
Perhaps, I should change my name to worrywort!</p>
