is there a point when it isn't worth going? Nowadays, even 4 yrs of basic college can easily add up to more than $120K with room and board.
It’s more like $320k. I’m doing college research right now and most private schools are $70k-$80k a year. It makes all of it more of a financial decision than anything else. What a shame. Is it better to put that money into a down payment on a condo and rent that out and build equity or an education? Just go to junior college for two years first. Never would have considered that for my kids but I am now. There’s not time to enter college to “figure it out”. You better know what the heck you’re gonna do because each freakin year is costing you $80K after tax dollars, which is $150k pre-tax. What the hell...
