"I can't even follow your post. You make no sense. Of course the student loans are not the end of the world. If a child really wants to attend college and the parents can't afford it, student loans are available and can be utilized. Of course there can be buckets of examples about how the kids flunked out and didn't appreciate, or how paying your own way though has somehow made you 100 times stronger (which i seriously doubt). The point is, you either value education as a family or you don't. [b]If you do, you help your kids achieve their absolute potential by supporting them in every possible way.[/b] If you don't value education, you make a 100 excuses as to why paying for a new kitchen, a better can or a trip to Hawaii has somehow made little Johnny a better man."

What I am saying is that there is a middle ground.  No, I am not going to do whatever possible and support them "in every possible way".  I will save enough, at some hardship, to get them to public in-state schools for 2-3 years.  I will borrow and/or pay as they go for the remainder of undergrad.  I am not going to live in a dump and not take vacations so I can save save save for private school. [/quote]

YOU STILL DON'T GET IT. And it's really sad for your kids.[/quote]
