I'm in the final quarter of my 22nd year and am going to college thanks to massive amounts of loans - both mine and my parents. My parents don't make a small enough amount for me to get any real money, but they don't make enough - especially considering they care for my grandpa who has alzheimer's and had to fund my grandma's funeral, etc - to be capable of paying for my ~$30k/year education. I have the highest amount of loans I was able to get and my parents took out loans for the rest, with the expectation that I will do what I can to pay them back in the future.
A good friend of mine, however, had an aunt who put away a fairly substantial amount of money for him when he was born and by the time he was 18 and going to college, it was enough to pay for all four years at Macalaster University. I'd lie if I said I wasn't jealous.
