<p>Has Shotos post been removed? I can’t find it. However, I must say the the middle class kid really does get burned on college. By middle class, I mean those who make too much to qualify for need based aid, but do not make enough to actually be able to afford 50K tuition. And, in some cases, it really is as if the more irresponsible one is, the more society rewards one for that irresponsibility. I do mean GENERALLY speaking. I haven’t even started the financial forms yet, but I read somewhere on CC that the more equity you have in a home etc. the more you get burned-and it is better if you have not managed to save any thing.</p>
