[quote=Anonymous]I bring home basically no dollars when you think of it that way. BUT I have spent the past 4 years contributing to my 401k, including a nice company match. While we don't see this today, future me is very happy we made this decision. I also contribute about $100 per kid per month in the 529. In no way will we be able to fully pay for college when the time comes, BUT, every little bit helps and this is the type of thing that would have to be cut from the budget if I were to stay home. Again, future me is very happy with this decision. And I have gained skills, promotions, raises etc. that will benefit me when the kids are fully in school in 2 more years. So while framing this way makes it seem like its not worth it, it really is worth it in the long run.[/quote]
