Getting number two daughter ready for a school of higher learning. Number
one daughter is entering her second year.  Nowadays getting sons and
daughters into a good university not only takes a high grade point average,
it takes lots of $$. My son tells me that it's costing him around $60,000
per year to keep the first daughter in a good school.

The state run (public) universities are booked solid for several years
ahead.  And even they have raised tuition and living expenses.
It's certainly not like when you and I attended.  I remember complaining
about the $2000 per year I had to pay.  :)
