I do...I agree with the article to a certain extent. I don't agree with this portion all the way: "Finally, remember: Opportunity is priceless. Sell your jewelry, sell your car -- whatever you need to do to be able to invest in your child's future."<br /><br />Yes, it is important to invest in your child's future, but not to the extent of the parent's future. If the parents have not fully secured their financial future (for example, they have not fully funded their retirement), then the child's college funding can be put on hold. After all, a child can always get lower cost tax deductible financial aid for college. A parent is harder pressed to find financial aid for their retirement - and is not low cost and is certainly not tax deductible.<br /><br />Andrea<br /><a href="http://themoneypile.com" rel="nofollow"> Save Money to Make Money </a>Andreahttp://themoneypile.comnoreply@blogger.com
