if all your child go to the same college once one graduate you can get a discount for the rest. or start a 529 plan for them once they are born.

The price of college does not affect how many children I want to have, because I am going yo have a savings accout for their college tuition anyway. Children are a lot of work, money, and stress. One must take all of that into accout when planning or having children.

I honestly do not think that it matters. I think that all children have the opportunity to get scholarships and get good grades to help them with college. I know that when I went to college that I didn't have to get a scholarship because my family is wealthy and started once I was born an account. But I tried my hardest to use as little of their money as possible. But yes everyone is different. I guess the expense could play a part but I don't think that it should.

No it didn't for me. I do think about it now though, and my son is only 4 months, but I have the next 18 years to save up and come up with a plan for that.

Wow!! i'll't trust all that money it is being given out... optimistically the mother is saving some for school!! helping with college is wonderful -- books, practise, etc... yet once 18, i imagine it truly is going to cease. You already pay the cell phone invoice and help with a vehicle.. it is truly sufficient!!!!! it is stupid to provide them money for moms presents!! OMG.. would not the mother artwork?? you may want to provide some money once you word her grades in college--if the grades are sturdy, supply her some spending money. I were given a scholarship so my moms and dads gave me spending money each month... convinced, it replaced into fantastic of them and that i actually loved it. some months, i might want to spend it and different circumstances i might want to reserve it... i might want to defiantly seem over all this money that is going in route of them. Do you truly want to pay for both vehicle coverage and cellular telephone invoice?? i wager it truly is your determination.. sturdy success!

I wouldn't consider it. There are always ways to help pay for it, like scholarships & financial aid. Or sometimes it is the kid's responsibility, to take out loans and get a job after college in their field of study, and pay them back.

I will be working a full time job to help pay for my children's college when they are older. That's the plan.

of course you should put everything down just so you know if you can take on the challenge although this is a long time away you should be planning to put money away for their tuition and how much you can afford to pay and how long it will take to save!

Put it this way, the more children you have, the later you can retire, but that should not be a reason to not have children.

No, I don't think so, I think we think of it later on. I have 4 children and I never thought about it when I had them. I think about it now.
