I've been paying for my own education. It has put a lot of stress on me on top of regular school stress! My parents did end up paying tuition for my last semester of school, because with all of my money together I couldn't afford it on top of paying rent etc for the rest of the year. However, that put a pretty big financial strain on them, and my mom even told me on the weekend she doesn't know if we'll have Christmas presents this year. From my own experiences, when I have children I would like to start accounts for them at birth. I could put some extra money in every month and they can either use the money for school, or moving out after graduation.
