I'm calling bullshit on that. I make substantially more than the national average, and I guarantee my child has and will cost nothing close to that figure through college.
That's a number you get when you add up everything up on average. (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/08/18...88179.html). I may be a little bit off, but I adjusted for inflation and the cost of the child coming back from collage with a degree and having trouble using it in the job market. The average parents income can't afford to send there child to school on there own money. If you want to child to attend a good to great university, your looking at about is this (http://www.collegedata.com/cs/content/co...leId=10064). Your not in the average bracket, if you factor in banking rolling your own child's education your looking at roughly about 1.5 million dollars from birth to collage. If your of the average income it's going to more cause of the rates of the loan. A former co-worker of mine has a degree in Animation which she can't use since the field is hard to brake into and she's sitting well in over $100,000 in debt. I was trying to make the point of that a child should not be even close to a million dollars to raise and put through school. A other co-worker of mine, saw the bill that his girlfriends insurance was billed for the birth of his daughter. It was over ten thousand dollars! That's absurd by any standards.
