the more you save, the more you have to pay.  Everything under your child's name is counted 100% and everything you have is counted as 5% (I think).  
If you could pay 100% of COA - ~$55,000/year, yes, do save.  Otherwise, try to have 0 on your book and get into Harvard for free.
We are right in the middle, not good enough to get into Harvard and have some but not enough money.  
I want to cry.  
That is a wrong way to go about it too

                    没想get in for free. 孩子要能进Harvard, 老公卖了房子,都会送他去的。
