No time until the semester ends for a real update, but here's my quickie.
I spend more time worrying about work and DD's college financing than anything else. Kind of tired of both.
My university is undergoing a title and compensation update that is making everyone angry.
I CANNOT wait for the semester to end. I want to cook, read, plan for next term, and not get up at 5:45 for a few days. And start an intense hunt for scholarship cash for DD.
A long-time friend is counting down the days to early retirement at the end of the month. That's got me thinking even more about how to balance retirement planning, UK goals, college financing, and current wants, needs, indulgences.
My big goal is now over $6000. Small potatoes to some, but it makes me feel a bit better.
See y'all in two + weeks.

Good luck with end-of-semester stresses and enjoy your upcoming break!

Is your daughter eligible for any of the merit scholarships the university offers, particularly for in state schools? Those are often renewable for four years if they maintain a decent grade point average. They may not have offered yet, but may be listed as showing the criteria used. It's the cost of living away that seems the most expensive to us. Try to take one year at a time if at all possible as the amount you earn and save can help the next year. Remember to figure in the American Opportunity Tax Credit you will be eligible for.
