[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Individuals are different. Marriages are different. Needs of family are different. Career demands are different. Financial conditions are different. Social support networks are different. Goals and values are different. Physical and mental health needs are different.

One size doesn't fit all. Do what works well for you and when a change is required, pivot. Don't listen to people who bash other people's choices, life isn't black and white where work is good and home is bad or vice versa. These are just options with different give and takes. No one is having it all unless very lucky and wealthy, others are picking whichever choice has more pros and less cons for their family.

For everyone else, pay off your debts before you have kids so you've more flexibility in life. Send your kids to community colleges or wherever aid or merit is highest so they can avoid debt and have more financial flexibility in life. You don't need to ruin their childhood with parental stress to earn for their college. They can be successful from any college and unsuccessful from most expensive colleges. Mental health is more important than success level.[/quote]
Your HSer will think, "Why do I have to go to community college because my mom decided to stop working?".  That may not be right, but it will suck for the college bound kid.  [/quote]

First, community colleges have evolved and make it easier to get into schools you otherwise can't, second your HSer can get merit scholarship if he is working well in school. Third, even by churning in corporate mill and paying for overpriced college, they may still not be happy or grateful. You can't ruin your life, marriage and their upbringing, all to pay for a college they prefer. They are free to take debt or earn merit for their want. [/quote]
