A
It's Graduation Day—a day that's getting quite familiar to Marc and Beverly Ostrofsky of Houston.Today, they'll attend two graduation ceremonies, one for their daughter Shelly, 22, from Washington University in St.Louis and another for their daughter, Mary Grace, 18, from Kincaid High School.Mary Grace will head to Boston University.Kelly, 22, graduated last Sunday from Duniversity.Tracy, 20, is a sophomore (二年级学生) at the University of Denver.The oldest, Maddy, 23, graduated from Berklee College of Music last year.
So what's the cost of putting five daughters through college?Beverly told ABC News $60,000 to $70,000 a year.In total, the family will spend about $1.5 million on college after taxes and that's not including graduate school.One daughter informed Marc that she now wants to seek her PhD.Marc is the best-selling author of Get Rich Click, and a multi-millionaire from Internet businesses.“We're fortunate that we can take care of it,”Beverly said.“We decided a long time ago we didn't want the girls to tat college loans, so that was our commitment to them.”
Marc and Beverly married five years ago, blending (融合) their own daughters into one big family of college-ready girls.Beverly said they wanted their daughters to have a choice of where they wanted to go to college, but having their children spread throughout the US created another expense—flying all of them home for holidays and visits.Just this week, Marc flew to North Carolina for Kelly's graduation, then to St.Louis for Shelly's graduation and hopes to make it bacst in time to Houston for Mary Grace' s graduation tonight.
With the last child leaving home for college, Marc says he and Beverly are going to take a breather.“It's like wiping the sweat off the forehead now.It's time to thint what we can do.Perhaps we'll take a vacation abroad,”he said.
The Ostrofsky family said their advice to parents who have many children is to start planning and saving from the day the children are born.
