"Though the Manzos, who are CHILDLESS."

Heck if my husband and I were childless, you bet we would be in the same category! Putting three kids through college can but a HUGH :) strain on the bank account! Not to mention the moola it takes to raise them! KIDS ARE VERY EXPENSIVE now a days. College tuition isn't what it was 24 years ago when my husband got his degree!:(

My parents have four college graduates out of six children. They didn't pay a penny in tuition for any of them. They did provide the necessary motivation and discipline to ensure their children understood the value of hardwork, persistence, and dedication.

Paying college tuition isn't a substitute for real parenting.

I'd rather have children than money. What fun is retirement withour grandchildren?
