Is there a danger in wealth being inherited? What if I told my kids that any wealth I accumulated would not go to them, but go to charity to help others less fortunate? |

Leaving BYU, I didnt really have a ton of student loans. I had some pell grants and scholarship dough, but also used student loans. BYU law school doesnt cost all that much. I think all told, I entered the work force with maybe $20K in student loans max? It wasnt enough to be a huge burden, but as you say, if you can help your kids, why not do it? If people have real student debt, like say....100K....that could be beastly.

Maybe you should have taken a few finance classes.

no worries. I already know that answer. Bottom line....BYU is a great bang for the buck.

Yes I have. I believe an education is important enough that I am willing to pay for them to get it.
But it's contingent on them choosing not to go to Iona or one of those snotty Ivy League schools. Ivy League schools because they are snotty bastards and Iona because it's for degenerates.

Maybe if your kids don't think a college education is important enough to work and pay for, you've lost already. |

You will someday realize that throwing your kid into the deep end of the pool is not the only way to teach him to swim.

I can always change my mind. If that's the case, I'll go buy a really cool car when I'm retired.
