TL;DR · WeSearch summary

It would amount to around $300,000 by the time she has graduated, including living expenses.I’m a 48-year-old middle-aged softball dad. I didn’t start saving for retirement until I was 42, when my income jumped to about $500,000 a year. Knowing I got a late start, I’ve been saving aggressively since then.
