[quote=Anonymous]Absolutely, and that is our plan. My spouse's university has a reciprocal agreement with dozens of other pretty good schools, so our kids will have a choice. They will also have the option of studying their asses off and getting merit-based scholarships. They will NOT have the option of taking out loans. I know too many people who will be financially crippled well into middle age due to their educational loans. I won't let my kids do that to themselves. Teens make dumb decisions without thinking about the effect on their 30- and 40-year-old selves. There was a groundskeeper at my undergrad university who was a lawyer. He quit his practice when the oldest of his five kids was in high school and mowed lawns for the university til the youngest graduated from college. He had done the math-- factoring in the pay cut and the lost earnings from having stepped away from his profession for 12 years, he was STILL more than a hundred thousand dollars to the good.
