Yesterday my wife and I took our son on his first college visit to a nearby campus that he is interested in. He got his first look at what a college campus looks like, including a dorm room. After the tour, there was a presentation which included a ton of information about the college, including the average cost per year. I knew college was expensive, and the number wasn’t unexpected, but with my son entering his senior year of high school the reality of it all hit me pretty hard. Helping our kids through college is going to be a whole new adventure….
I’d better keep reading personal finance blogs to keep my skills sharp!

I don’t even have kids yet and I’m already concerned about college costs! Can you imagine what the cost will be in 20+ years?? Hopefully there are some changes to the system by then, but I’m not optimistic.
Thanks for sharing Erin’s post!
I can’t even imagine how much it will cost in 20 years. It makes me shudder……start saving now!
