Pinching for college
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
An interesting essay ran over the weekend, written by a college freshman who pointed out what many of us have long noticed when it comes to paying for college. Many middle class families are in a difficult position.
Many make too much to qualify for financial aid, but not enough to pay for college out right.
Of course there are options. Students could take out loans they’ll be paying back for years after they graduate. Or students could give up their “dream” school and go to cheaper college instead. Neither is an attraction option.
How worried are you about paying for your kids’ college? If you went to college, how did you afford it?
