[quote=Anonymous]Talk to your kids and see what they think. Your kids may say they prefer the vacays or that they prefer less/no loans. I see lots of families going on very big trips and also very stressed about upcoming college costs. I get it before middle school, but after, I wouldn't do anything that would impact whether my kids would have a student loan (eg, huge trips, huge home improvements). Some families can't avoid it (I was in that boat as a kid), but if you can, it's worth it to me. I wasn't conflicted about that, but if I were, I would have talked with my kids about it. DH never had loans, and it gave him a huge leg up in his 20s. [/quote]
