None. Until I get to the point where I have fully maxed out all retirement options and I have a year of income in savings, I won't be, either.

Who knows what college will look like in 10-15 years. But I am certain paying cash at that point, or scholarships, or grants, or student loans, will be an option.

But I fully believe that, when the time comes to it, my kids will go to an in-state public university, unless they get close to a free ride somewhere else. Unless you are in high finance or trying to get into a top flight grad school, paying private school money for a 4 year degree is stupid.

Exactly. No kid of mine is paying full price for Tulane or something similar. I'll help out as much as possible if they want to attend Vanderbilt, Stanford, or an Ivy, but other than that it's either LSU or Georgia (because I'd be fine visiting Athens). My goal is for all of my hypothetical future children to graduate undergrad debt free. And I'd be fine helping with Med or Law school too, if needed.
