We saw Lilith's post about her baby getting accepted to his #1 college pick. (Go Lil!!! You're a smart cookie with smart cookie crumbles. Good job, proud mommy!)

Likewise for me. My oldest son has been in school for three years and has one year to go. After grants & scholarships, his bill is around $23,000 a year.

My daughter has been accepted into one school so far and it would likely cost us $26,000 per year.

Yep...that means next year I will have to write checks for $49,000.

And my youngest is a sophomore in high school, so there's no end in sight.


/me is crapping his pants over this.


So what about you? Figuratively, please. No need for scat reports.
