I paid for school and basically everything else myself, and for my kids I will pay for their education because as Drury says above I think its basically a necessity at this point. I will help the kids out with vehicles and maybe their first house to some extent, but that's a little more up in the air for me. I kind of think that if you get all of the tools (schooling in particular) then you make your own way in the world.
I guess we'll see how that goes because as a parent I know that a lot of my "I would just do this..." thoughts before I had kids went by the wayside. Sometimes it looks good on paper, but just doesn't work in practice!
