<p>Congrats to your D,docmom. I predict she’ll be very happy Gamecock. Also, she might not be thinking about it now but she’ll be really happy in four years when she graduates debt free and can spread her wings w/out debt weighing her down. S1 got scholarships to cover the costs at NCSU. We handed over all the savings bonds (bought in his name) that were meant to pay for college to him when he graduated. Two and half years after graduating, he was able to buy a house. </p>
<p>Thanks to all of you for such excellent advice. I feel like I show up on CC every 3.5 years like clockwork 
This should be it, though! Consider yourselves greatly appreciated!</p>
