I have two children and I put a little under a percent of each paycheck into a savings for each. My goal isn't to pay off their entire school but to pay about 25-50% of it.
I never went to college, I went into the military instead. I did watch my sister work three full time jobs plus going to college full time and don't want my kids to have to deal with that. I could never figure out when she could sleep, although she now pulls two full time jobs and a part time with a husband and child.
