That cannot be the point, because there is a scale here from not giving a crap about education to throwing oneself under a train to help pay tuition. Within that range there are many different reasonable trade-offs that can be made. Everyone here, I believe, values education to a significant extent. But not everyone is going to sacrifice their vacations and cars for the next 20 years so that their children can go to whatever college they please at no cost for themselves.[/quote]

Of course! We are talking spending frivolously and and being reasonable so that you can help your kids achieve their potential.  For example, I might not be able to take my kids to Europe three times before 15 because I choose to put that 10 grand into their education fund.  A camping trip to the rockies might have to do.  I might not buy that Audi and choose to drive my Honda for 5 more years.  I might choose to remodel my kitchen after they graduate, etc.  It's the kind of choices that add up over years.  [/quote]
