[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The flip side of this is I am so grateful my parents have the financial means for a comfortable retirement and to pay for care if they eventually need it. That's a bigger deal than having college paid for. Though both are nice.[/quote]
Either way, college and retirement are both more attainable with two incomes.[/quote]

Not always.  My income was on the lower end in a helping profession so by the time we paid for child care, we'd owe money.  And with older child, the driving is daily after school so paying someone would be a wash.[/quote]
Right, the standard “I can’t get a job because we’ll be poor-er!” Lie. Whatever helps you sit on the sofa all afternoon! [/quote]

So, who would drive my kid if I couldn’t?   It would take my entire income for a driver.  I wish I could just stay in the couch given my health issues.  If I spend more post tax on help than I earn what’s the point of working.  I’m glad to be home and doing things like caring for my family and mil.   We are fine on one income and will pay for college and grad school. [/quote]
