Two kids, two college tuitions. Add it up: One very big college bill. For families like John and Ellen Wong of Sacramento, paying for college is no trivial expense. With two teenagers heading to campus this fall, their total annual tab is about $66,000. That’s roughly Ms. Wong’s entire annual salary as a public high school instructor.
“We’ve been saving since they were babies,” said Ms. Wong, who added that the couple are determined to get their kids through college without relying on student loans. That’s no easy feat at a time when college tuition is soaring and student debt loads are crushing.
