[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would prioritize being with my kids over college savings, but not retirement savings. You've got to take care of yourself first. But if I could fully fund retirement and pay bills on one salary, you bet one of us would stay home. You any ever get these years back, and no one promises you that your kid will be college bound. (I'd be just as happy if my kid grew up to be a plumber or an electrician.) I'd rather have the years when I can help shape his character, more than pay for undergraduate study. Alas, I can't do either, as we currently aren't making enough to runs our 401k's![/quote] It really depends on how old you are. If you're in your late 50s or early 60s when your last child leaves for college, you can't really SAH and take care of retirement savings. Just not enough time left.[/quote]
