College, in North America, is something that you "have to have" (according to popular thought) and is for-profit, so there's incentive to increase the cost. The costs have catastrophically ballooned just since I went and I'm in my 30s. While I don't think those costs can continue to increase indefinitely, they're certainly bound to rise further.
- dnautics 13y agokeep in mind though that if the advice is being doled out to, say a 20-something, then the period in question is +10 (to get to a 30-something +20 or so to get the kid to college) or a net +30 years from now. I think it's certainly possible higher education bubble will pop before 30 years are up.
