Has your parents’ income always been $70k? If so, it’s amazing that they’ve been able to pay off all but $50k on your $400k home, save $110k, and still have enough to live on.

Are you an only child? Paying 1/3 of their net income every year seems like a stretch. If there are other children they should take their college costs into account too.
