Hogwash yourself. Have you paid for a state university education lately??? Cheap relative to prestige private schools only. Without massive savings or help, they’ll still financially cripple the average middle class family.
So true. And my kids, well the teens, work at a job. They have since they were 15. They couldn’t possibly save tuition costs.
I have no idea how we’ll help pay for her and her 3 sisters college educations. All I know is we will help, do what we can, help as much as we can, financially. Our two teens have been working since they were 15. They’ll continue to work during college, just as my husband and I worked through college and high school and prior.
The average middle class family is finding that college costs are out of reach. My parents were able to financially help, and in some cases pay just about all college costs. And this was the generation that just about graduated high school and didn’t attend college. Now their kids, me, are trying to give the same to our kids. With college tuition at an astronomical high, it’s near impossible for the middle class. We look at it the same way we look at our kids being able to afford what we have now...our kids (meaning mine) most likely won’t be able to live the way we do now, the way they grew up.
I was able to have a better life than my parents...the American Dream, that they realized and made possible for their kids. My kids probably won’t be able to live better than us...they probably won’t be able to live as well as we do.
