No reason for you to end up in debt (or have your kids end up in debt) when there are other great options.
Sending them in-state is not a “bad choice”…its a realistic choice.

Say "We’ve run the numbers, and we can only afford 50K/40K whatever you want to be the number per year. We hoped there might be more merit from some of the schools. We are not going to take out big loans and neither are you. To achieve that, you both will need to be under $25K so that means UofK. "

Now maybe one kid woudl say “But if Janie went to Purdue, it would only be 55K…couldn’t she take a small loan out?”
Then maybe that coudl work but it would have to be her idea.
