These responses are amazing to me.

I want my children to be more successful and have more opportunity than I did...and I am successful. To me, education is the key to all of that.

Thus, I will fund my kids' educations as far as they want to take them. If they want graduate degrees, that's on me, too. Could they do it on their own? Of course...but, I want them be huge successes, follow their dreams, and try to build the careers they want. And me paying education invoices is a small way I can have a positive influence on that.

A lot of us are probably a product of growing up in the 60s, and finishing college in the 70s many after a stint in the military. A common question from recruiters back then was "how did you pay for your education?", you were usually doomed if you answered your parents footed the bill. A solid history of part time work experience during college was a resume must have, I guess the world is just different today.

Read the millionaire next door. In most cases they followed, paying every dime resulted in them being less successful.

Not all by any means, something to consider. I'll be doing my absolute best. However, I doubt I'll be able to fully fund graduate school on top of undergrad.
