[quote=Anonymous]I may get flamed for this, but growing up we had everything we needed and LOTS of what we wanted. Nothing like a country club membership or horses or European vacations. Frankly, it wouldn’t even cross my mind to want to give those specific things to my kids. The best thing my parents ever did for me and my siblings was save from the second we were born to pay for college in full. State schools, but we never had to worry about loans or taking on debt. I see how much of a difference it makes to some of my peers. To this day, that is the number one thing I am most grateful for. It set me up for financial success, and that is way more important than any material thing I could have been given. Yes, I know it’s not easy and times have changed (I’m in my early 30s). But we are adamant that we will do the same for our own kids. [/quote]
