My brother's youngest daughter is a Junior in high school so she is starting to talk about colleges. It is crazy how much money they are. She wants to go somewhere close by so she can live at home and save the housing cost, but even the "cheap" colleges are $10,000 a year and Lewis & Clark (where she would love to go) is freaking $50K a year just for tuition. It's as expensive to go to Lewis & Clark as it is Harvard.

I feel fortunate. I graduated with only about $1,100 in student debt which I paid off quickly. She may find herself with tens of thousands of dollars in debt.
