No one really pays sticker price for college. I had some grants, financial aid, and (like someone else mentioned), the co-op program helped pay for some of my tuition.

I did work, at Target, making minimum wage. One full-time paycheck was about 300 bucks, give or take. Since I supported myself, that money was used on car/food/gas. So, 300 bucks was the most I'd ever seen.

If nobody pays sticker price for college why did you use the sticker price when discussing how much debt you chose not to accept?
