[quote=FlyerInHi]Yes, I understand that there’s definitely is pushback against the escalating cost of education.
Young folks are not buying houses and there’s not wanting to take on large loans to fund education.
But, if you have the means to pay for education or you have the means to help your kids buy a house, then why not?
If you live in a million dollar house (or own several investment properties) then you can afford to pay for Ivy league. It might financially hurt but you have to make sacrifices for your kids.[/quote]Again, unless you’re a multi-millionaire, those of us who are lower on the financial totem poll have to weigh the various ROI. Would you be will to sacrifice your retirement for your kid’s Ivy education? Would you be willing to drastically down size your living standard to pay for your kid’s education? Would you be will to give up the possibility of helping your kids’ buy their first house or give them capital to start their first business? Unless you’re swimming in cash, these are the kind of ROI I’m talking about.
