Very few people actually pay for a college education cash out. Most of us have to have financial aid, loans etc. That's why it's smarter to cut two years at the community college where it's loads cheaper. Then you only have to pay for the last two years at a state or something which is still cheaper.

People, you can afford it: defer all other gratification firts. You don't even need to work part time either. Figure it out. Responsibility, accountablility.
