That’s commendable, though. At least you have goals and clear figures that will allow you to track them.

Do you think that college prices can seriously keep up over time? I know a lot of people — who are REALLY smart with money — who don’t save because they think college won’t exists “as we know it” when their kids are college-aged. I think that’s a little silly, but I’m not living their lives.

Yes, the sooner you start saving for retirement, the better.

Glad to hear I’m not the only one who thinks of that. I know people can be very grateful for something, but I feel like it’s only natural that they appreciate things more when they put in the hard work and effort to pay for them.

Very true. I don’t necessarily want my son to have to take out student loans but it’s not the end of the world. Taking out student loans also changed my life for the better and led to a whole new career.

Those are some pretty solid points. I definitely don’t want to be working when I’m 80 and don’t want my son to have to deal with the burden of providing for me. I like the idea of a seeding college fund.
