Default Re: Need help planning for kids college

This is the tack my parents took with me and the one I have heard a lot on financial shows. Unless your retirement is fully funded, let her take out loans, find scholarships, work part time, etc. There are lots of loans for students but NONE for retirees who didn't save enough. My parents were never in the position to save for my college, but I managed to go away to very good schools -- and even earn two masters degrees.
