[quote=Anonymous]What's best for kids is stability, however you can manage it. Sometimes that means working, sometimes it means not working. We did both (SAHP and funded 529). Our income grew (a lot) over those 18 years with kids. We were modest in our 529 contributions, knowing we'd likely be in a position to also pay as we go if needed, and still we ended up having more than enough. On top of that, this year's bonus alone could have covered most of our youngest's tuition, but he got merit awards, and we have a funded 529, so we don't need it for that. Our oldest also got merit awards and will graduate with a lot left over in the 529 for grad school if desired. My point is, in making your decision, keep in mind that your family compensation will most likely grow over time. You can also decide as you go along and make changes to work/SAH as warranted.[/quote]
