I think you need to see a mental health professional if you earn so much and your poor kids have used socks, underware and shoes.  I also think your husband makes the money.   Seriously please get some help before your kids grow up messed up and spend spend spend.    [/quote]

Oh...and I'm a lawyer, and earn plenty.[/quote]

And your kids wear used underwear. Gross.[/quote]

Yep...from an older cousin.  Ewwww (not).  Again, how much in your kids' 529s?  Lets ask our kids 13 years from now who is glad how their parents shopped 13 years before...yours or mine?  Mine will have all school paid for, will never have to financially support us, have a large inheritance distributed at certain ages, and even a trust set up to pay for THEIR kids' school.  But you're right....they will not be happy I chose this path for them.[/quote]

I grew up in a thrifty household. I got hand me down socks and shoes for sure, underwear rarely. Yes, when I was in middle school I told my parents I hated used clothes and that I would be miserable without Guess jeans and trendy sneakers. (They bought me one pair of each.) But that passed. Now I am a thrifty adult and am so grateful that my parents had money for my education and money to pay for their own retirement. To the poster who advised that the thrift parents see a mental health professional (and who misspelled "underwear") -- you have no clue.[/quote]
