It seems like no matter how much we put into our son's education account it won't be enough by time they go to college. The other day I heard from the local news saying the tuition is going at a 5~6% increase and not likely to stop at all. If you have a 4 year old, you will need somewhere in between $135K to $350K for a 4 year, public or private college degree.

At this rate there is no way we could send out boys to college when the time comes. Unless our salaries double, the 529 account performs better and better each year, our boys get full scholarship, or if we hit the lotto.

Hell, there goes my retirement.
