I think i've got a pretty significant convo. with H coming up, probably this weekend, and I could use some help framing it.
Our older son is in the process of hearing from colleges...pretty exciting time! Part of this whole selection process will involve what financial aid looks like (most of the schools he's applied to are private, and we will qualify for some need-based aid to those schools). We have some saved, but will still have quite a bit more (including some loans, probably) to finance for our family contribution. Obviously, our financial situation changes dramatically based on whether we are supporting one household or two... what it boils down to is what are we willing to commit to for a 4-year period...
How do I broach this general concept without straying into R territory????
