When my kids were born I sat down and did the math on how much money I would have to save each month in order to pay for their college, accounting for the trending rise in tuition and the force devaluation of the dollar. I literally would have had our family living on bread and water in a shack. It came out to well over half of all our pre-tax pay, every month, every year, with no room for emergencies.

We decided instead to take some of that same money and put our kids into Montessori school, so that they will have a solid foundation of real education and critical thinking, and most of all, be able to educate themselves. College will be something they choose, advance place for, get assistance, and I will help as I can with what I have then.[/quote]

Dude, I don't think she means "DCUM shack". I think she means actual shack! As in impossible.

I don't get paying for Montessori but not college.  College is far more important.  You sound really selfish.  We do live in a shack and happy to if it means a better future for ours.[/quote][/quote]
