4 Year Public School - in State

The current average in-state tuition is around $13,000.  Assuming 7% college cost inflation, you can expect to pay:

• $81,000 if you start college in 5 years
• $114,000 if you start college in 10 years
• $195,000 if you start college in 18 years

4 Year Public School - Out of State

The current average cost for out-of-state tuition to a public university is $19,000.  Assuming 7% college cost inflation, you can expect to pay:

• $118,000 if you start college in 5 years
• $166,000 if you start college in 10 years
• $285,000 if you start college in 18 years

So how much do you have to save each month?  It depends on how much you expect to earn from your investments, and also how much college costs continue to rise.  Historically, college costs have risen 5% to 8% per year. 

For a better idea of how much to save, consider contacting a financial advisor.

Don't Blink

There once was a day when our babies where newborns. In a blink those small babies became toddlers.

Afternoons spent at the zoo with our toddlers, quickly became afternoons spent at elementary school PTA meetings.

As we blink again middle school has passed; braces are off and with a diploma in their hand, our babies have their cars packed headed for college.
