[quote=Anonymous]I just have 1 child but get no support. Zero. However, starting young in investing really paid off for me. Plus, I really know how to stretch a dollar. I was cable free and on a low cost cell phone plan long before it became popular. I feel like I will figure out college as I go. I will be retired by the time my DC goes to college and will start collecting my pension. I may do part time work if needed, but with my pension - 70k (I also get a smaller one that covers health care) and then I can start withdrawing if I need from savings) I am not too worried. I was able to find several scholarships for me and I hope to do the same for him. Regardless, unless he is Harvard material, he will be going to a state school (and if he goes out of state, I will follow him to get in state tuition, haha). How many kids? Did your ex pay child support? What about sending the kids to college? I’m a single mom who is also a teacher. My ex doesn’t pay anything since both kids are over 18. They cost more now in college than they ever had so it’s ironic that I’m having to pay it all. I stopped my 403b contributions and took up a 2nd job. [/quote][/quote]
