I'm working for my son now. I could retire - not as comfortably as I'd like, but I want him to be able to escape the school system without debt. When I went to college, UCLA cost $1,240 a year. Now it's sixteen times that. Add in cost of living, and he could be another Sisyphus pushing a six-figure debt boulder up the hill.

It was that simulation that eventually settled me down. In our case it's a little more than double, but I realized while reading this that we never accounted for our property's value. Which, over that period, is going to be ludicrous.  Those kids are going to be set for life, though they could very well be retirement age when it happens
