    Yo, how much should I be saving in a 529 plan if I want my kids to go to school debt-free? It costs fucking $240K to go to school nowadays, how much is this shit going to inflate over 10 years?

      My kid starts college this year (moved in today!) and it will cost around $16k all-in for 4 years.

      Scholarships and choosing the right school can make a huge difference.

      Unless they get scholarships or are going to some exclusive prestiges university.

      Send them to community college for two years and then transfer to 4 year.

      Also again, unless it’s a niche field, or a super elite university. The school doesn’t make near the difference they want you to think it does.
