Now I have to explain that to my 17 year old who wants to go to Northwestern for 40K a year versus our state university for 14K.

My dad made it dead simple for me... I had to go to whatever school he chose to pay for. If I wanted something else, I would have to pay for it myself. However, he also made me understand that student loans were not a "free ride" like so many students seem to think they are.

Oh yeah. That conversation is on the horizon, to be sure.

I gather you took his advise and are the better for it financially today ?
