I always hear all about student loans and am curious does anybody pay for their kids to go to college anymore or are most parents having their children take out student loans for it?

I saved over a 100 large for my son's college. Then I realized he could use my GI bill, which essentially is a four year scholarship. It's gonna be one hell of a vacation for me and the wife.
this. I got a sweet new quadraphonic sound system, a strobe light, and a water bed installed in my Astro van instead of paying for my kid to go to college.redd38 said:

Where did you attend university?Wade Winston Wilson said:
My parents paid for my sister's college because A&M was cheap at that point
They paid for my first two years (minus the scholarships that I had) because private school was not cheap. I took out loans for my last two years.
They paid for my brother's undergrad because A&M was still (fairly) cheap. He got loans for grad school.
Vanguard has some great 529/529-like funds.AgOutsideAustin said:
Both. Saved some money in 529 plans and pay cash for things when possible but still probably looking at about 1/2 their education costs being paid with loans. One in school now and another one in a few years.
Why did you not attend A&M?Wade Winston Wilson said:
