Random question that isn't leading anywhere, I'm just curious: Are CA schools still relatively insanely cheap instate as opposed to out of state? I remember when I got acceptance from some of them, we were idly discussing transferring my residency to my aunt's (who lived there.) Then Guilco came in with a stellar offer and the CA schools were off my list.
A year and a half ago, I could have eviscerated him with my thoughts. Now I can barely hurt his feelings. Things used to be so much simpler.

Maybe the fire is a sign that you need to start the house hunt again.

Relatively. Berkeley lists Undergraduate total costs (including room and board) for a year at just over 23K for residents, and 41K for non-residents.

Jeebus! I've been hearing about how costs have been going up here in MD (big ruckus about it) but I hadn't realized they were at that level everywhere. $20k range sounds like what we were looking at for a nonresident, oh, in 1993. I should look up my alma mater and see what their tuition and board are now. I got lucky with scholarships and grants and my parents' savings, so no loans. I doubt we could have accomplished that now, even with my parents better finances now.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

As with so many things, there is no "get my life together." There's just doing a whole bunch of individual things. Do one maybe.

sarameg, it's a little misleading, because those estimates are on the high end for living costs. Tution for an in-state resident is $7434, and out-of-state is $17,820. See the numbers here.
