This fall I will have three kids in college. My first thought is “I’m not old enough to have three kids in college.” Most people think my second thought would be “How can I afford to have three kids in college?” but they are wrong my second thought is “Really? I’m not old enough to have three kids in college.”
I am indeed old enough to have three kids in college. After all, I’m half way trough my 40’s and it has been more than 25 years since I graduated from high school. My oldest child recently celebrated her 21st birthday. I am fully aware of all of this, the thing I don’t understand is when did all of this happen? I have to the tendency to say “A while back” when I talk about things. When I stop and think for a moment, “a while back” sometimes turns out to be 5, 10, 20 years ago. When did all this time go by?
As for the how do we afford three kids in college, a topic for a different post.
