[quote=bearishgurl][quote=desmond]It will probably be worse in 10 years, and flu it will be here so fast you won’t believe it. My daughter graduated last Saturday so I am finished. We bit the bullet and sent our kids to private schools in Texas. I finished 8 years of private HS and 8 years of private College for my two kids. I got lucky on a couple of houses that made it easier to pay for but holy S I do not even want to know what we actually paid. I cannot imagine what people will do in the future paying for college. These colleges are like f- ing country clubs and just keep raising the green fees. In my mind I kept saying “thank you sir may I have another”.[/quote]
Good for YOU, Desmond. TX is one of the states I have in mind to establish residency for my last kid. Unlike you, I didn’t “make a killing” on two houses and can’t pay for private HS, private college or out-of-state tuition.
I have relatives in three other states which could assist my kid with assimilation and getting a job to establish residency, if need be.
You seem to have sacrificed a lot for your kids (I take it you are renting now?) and I’m SURE you’re VERY glad to be done with it :=][/quote]
There our kids so I would not call it a sacrifice more like what we wanted to. My wife and I are not high profile, we shared one car for 3 years and hung out without going on any big vacations, etc. College is very stressful now for parents with the high costs, you worry your kid will flunk a course and then have to go another semester and all sorts of crap runs through your mind. The schools never take into consideration what you are paying and really don’t care. Get that residency and just do the best that you can without going BK or crazy!
