Year: 1977
Total Cost: $134,050.00
Percent Increase Cost of Living: 3.80%
Cost Per Year: $7,447.22
Yearly Cost Per Parent: $3,723.61
Monthly Cost Per Parent: $310.30

These results allow the child to attend a state college.

JPC may have had to sacrifice a little but I think even he could have come up with $310 a month.
