I live in a single-earner household, with 3 kids and 2 adults in the house. My oldest son is in college. I really do not see the problem with college expenses, so long as the student abides by a few guidelines: - In the high school years, the student should recognize that their primary job is to line up scholarships. Nothing beats a good ACT score, and very good study books can be had at GoodWill for $1. - Once at college, eat at the caf. Every. Single. Meal. College kids have no business eating out. - Have a summer job, the primary goal is to make money. - Don't use Spotify, NetFlix, etc. No subscription services. We fund half of what my son's scholarships don't pay, he pays the rest with summer-job money. It's working so well I expect the other 2 kids to graduate debt-free as well.
