[quote=Anonymous]My kids are 17 and 15, so we're right on the cusp of this. Our 529s have something like $140k saved for kid 1 and $110k for kid 2. We'll cash-flow the rest no matter where they go. We have something like $3.5M in our retirement accounts and brokerage, and we're about 50 years old, so the retirement is right on track. I'd feel like a jerk if my wife and I enjoyed our wealth while our kids were saddling themselves with student debt or foreclosing themselves from great but expensive opportunities. I wouldn't be able to live with myself. I get that we're in the lucky few who get to make this choice. Many people simply can't afford to pay full freight for university, and I'm not judging those who make do with limited means. But, in our situation, with options afforded by our means, I can't imagine not paying for my kids' education. [/quote]
