Re: How much for college?
My daughter is in her third year and entering the teacher program definitely raised the cost!
I am a single parent and by the time we bought her a reasonable and "used" car my savings was minimal. Still you have to have the car!
She attended the local college the first 2 1/2 years which made college very affordable. When she was accepted into the teachers program we had to transfer to a 4 year college. The transfer scholarship was a tremendous help, and since the colleges are "courting" the kids at the 2 year colleges are easily attained. Good grades!
Something else I've seen discussed here I am sure, is the opportunity to pick up college credit in high school. The courses cost about 220.00 but were invaluable in getting her ahead. I believe she begin those in her sophmore year.
Other then that its very day to day and I sometimes I worry. We will make though, because we have to!
