It's fitting that the College Board released its trends in college pricing just before Halloween. It's frightening what many families are paying to help their children realize the American dream of a middle-income-or-better lifestyle.

The average annual sticker price for tuition and fees at public four-year colleges and universities increased 4.8 percent, to $8,655 over the past year. Prices increased 4.2 percent, to $29,056, at private nonprofit four-year schools. That's not including room and board.
