[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Firstly I think we feel the obligation [b]not to do less for our daughter than was done for us[/b]— both of our parents fully paid four years of undergraduate and private grad school (DH went private all the way, I went public for undergraduate).

Second I’m probably younger than you, and I can tell you my peers who have student loans are five or ten years behind us in virtually everything.  Just buying starter homes as the markets are pricing them out of good areas.  Just getting married in some cases. We’re only one of a handful of families with kids of our peer group. I do not want my daughter waiting for her life to start when she’s 23 and should be working in some idealistic NGO job or looking at med school without worrying how to pay for it.  It just doesn’t reflect what I want for her, and I’m happy to join team small-house-old-car to avoid it.[/quote]

OP here.  I really like the bolded as at least a baseline for a sense of obligation.  Thanks![/quote]
