cptofthehouse brings up some excellent points. You gotta sit down as a family and talk this out. It is also not to early to bring the little sister into the conversation so that she can be proactive and put her self in a better position to cast a wide net for merit money.

One of the biggest hurdles tht OP may have to overcome is the possibility of the stepdaughter wanting the either the same or comparable college experience that the daughter had. I don’t know how long Op has been married (I think it has been within the last couple of years).

I know from previous postings that OP has made a lot of sacrifices to make college happen for her daughter. Unfortunately, the only thing that kids see is that you did this Jack, now you should do it for Jill. With a third child coming down the pike, Jane is going to also want a comparable situation.

At the end of the day, all you can do is say that as a family we are going to all roll up our sleeves and help each other get through college. This means every one working, cutting back on non-essentials, savings and kids taking loans.

I hope that it all works out.
