I'm only 20 years old, and I already feel like I should be saving for my childrens education, my future house, and my retirement plan...
everything seems to be getting more expensive these days, and though the career path i've chosen should provide, but by no means gaurantees, a comfortable lifestyle - i just want to be able to have the time off from work to do the things i want to do without having to worry about my childrens education, my mortgage, and my future financial security...
The tuition went up almost 18% at my school, which is an out-of-state school so it was almost $2,000 more... but even in state, at the University of Illinois, i believe tuition for next year rose at least 15%...
I just don't understand how people are going to afford college if it keeps getting more and more expensive...
I give mad props to those who pay for their own college education, and although I will always stress academics and hope for some scholarship money, I want to plan and save for the idea that I will have to pay for my childrens education - b/c I want them to focus on school and not making ends meet...
