I'm going to community college currently because I had no idea what I wanted to do. I have a $2,000 a year scholarship, so after that and books, I have to pay maybe $3,500 for the rest of the year. I currently pay out of pocket for all of that because I have all the money saved up. When I transfer to a 4-year university, I will most likely pay out of pocket as well. My parents have about $50,000 saved up in a college fund for me, but would rather me pay first because my account is making huge gains in the stock market and they don't want to sell the stocks to get the money. I'll get the money eventually and will have absolutely no debt.
