My wife started her first semester of classes this fall on her way towards a Ph.D. One of the best things about a Ph.D., besides the degree, is that candidates are paid to go to school.

Make no mistake about it.  You should save for your own retirement first by max out your Roth IRA (if you qualify) or getting your employer’s match to for your 401-k plan before you save a dime for your children’s college education.  I know that it is a hard choice to make because everyone want to give their children a better live than the ones that we lived.  But, not saving for your retirement will not only jeopardize your future but your children’s as well.
