All done with paying for college! DD is now financially independent from us.
We have champagne in the fridge, and will drink it tonight.
Note that the cost went down after the first year, since we used up money saved in DDs name, making her eligible for more financial aid.

Congrats! It is a real accomplishment to have a child graduate from college without having student loans.

OK, I have to ask, given the cost, what school and what degree?
What did you end up doing with her old bedroom? Inquiring minds. . . .
Congratulations! Just curious, how did you draw the line between what you were willing to pay for, and what DD needed student loans for? Did you have a hard figure that you'd decided you could afford, and she was on the hook for anything beyond that?
DW and I have been having conversations about how we'll manage this with our kids (currently 4 and 2), and I'm interested in hearing what others have done.
