I didn't address this part of the question. I'm not in that situation, so I can only be hypothetical, but I don't think I'd give up vacations. I would make vacation as inexpensive as possible while still being enjoyable, but I wouldn't cut them out. My daughter has learned so much through traveling that can't be learned any other way besides experiencing it. I think that is worth every penny. She's been to something like 17 states, plus Mexico, Canada, Bahamas, Puerto Rico, St. Thomas, Belize, Dominican Republic and probably a couple of places I'm not thinking of. She remembers tons of stuff from places she has visited. It has helped her in school already when they've been studying various things.
There are always ways to pay for college - jobs, loans, scholarships - but you can never replace those family vacations and experiences.
