Ivory Tower Idiots

[siff]

Although I love Wake, I'm a complete idiot for letting myself get screwed like this. UVA is $20k for in-state, and Wake isn't 3 times better than UVA.
One day very soon, this model of complete lunacy is going to breakdown, and most overpriced private schools are in deep shit.

Addendum.

But seriously, change starts with not paying and opting for lower cost alternatives.

Assuming you're actually paying the insane tuition and not securing loans, I'll just throw this out there for ya.

Suppose you paid $20,000/year for junior's education and took the balance of $45,000/year and parked that in a bond fund with junior's name on it. You're already spending it.

Fast forward and Junior would graduate with a four degree and almost $200,000 in the bank which could be compounded for 40 years and he would retire a multi-millionaire.

Zero debt, four-year degree and well on his way to being a millionaire by 30.



Nah... that's just crazy talk! Go Deacs!!!!!

lolz
