Thinking of sending your kids to college?

I am sure you are, after all, a high school diploma just doesn't cut it anymore. In fact, a generic bachelor degree (i.e. business, marketing, journalism, etc) is the new equivalent of the high school diploma. It may get you in the door, but it certainly doesn't get you a job. So as you prepare your children for higher education (at 20K per year), pay attention to the cost of Room & Board. My experience was that room and board was $760 per MONTH! Here is what that included: a 12' x 15' room that I shared with a roommate, a bathroom which was shared with 3 other people and a laundry room shared with 300 other people. I would think you could find a better deal renting an apartment or house for less money. Also, did you know there is a way to get free laundry from those coin operated machines?

Something to think about, if you only had 30 days to live, what would you do differently?
