You would save 4.7% per year, ignoring any differences in federal deductions. To save 200k over 20 years at 4.7% means you would have an annual income over those 20 years of $212,766. You are doing very well. You can afford another kid or two. Unless your math is wrong, but no chance of that.

He was including the 84k he would have saved having kids at UNH -v- UCONN which means he is down to 116k for the numbers you are working with - so the numbers drop a bit.

Not sure 6 more weeks of winter are worth the difference ; )

His math there is even more astounding. UConn tuition and fees is $28604, UNH is $28562. Not sure that adds up to 84k, but...

I match your UCONN number to the dollar. For UNH, I have 15,140 for in-state tuition & fees, 5,776 for a triple room, 7,220 for a double room. And UCONN is going up 31% in the next 4 years.

I know there is no chance of this, but your numbers are wrong. You don't have room AND board. After all tuition room and board and fees:

UNH next year Cost of Attendance $33,750

UCONN 2018-2019
Subtotal Direct Costs (Plus Waivable Fees) $31,812

Your UNH estimate seems to include a few items (about 4k worth) that aren't in the UCONN estimate, and your UCONN estimate doesn't include this...

And I was assuming a triple room at UNH, cheaper...but that won't get me to savings of 84k with those numbers, you're right...

Correct. It would be more than $250k over 20 years, and that's based on today. CT will get more expensive relative to NH.

"Not sure 6 more weeks of winter are worth the difference"

There is that. We love to ski. I'd move to a town very close to Lake Sunapee, beautiful lake in the summer, great skiing in the winter. Top notch public schools.
