[QUOTE="quad decade guy, post: 4486258, member: 77939"] It's nice to have a discussion without the bitter hatred found on general UPS discussion found elsewhere on BC. Given the gravity of the news on student debt, I can't imagine having $73k in debt as a positive. I am not being critical. To me it's not any different than say $73k in credit card debt(albeit better interest terms). That said, to each his own. What has driven me for the last 30 years is that (1) my daughter did not ask to be put on this earth, (2) I've been very fortunate and want to give back and share. I don't plan on working past "normal" retirement age either. As I understand it, that's age 67. To me, my life is quite normal. As far as having a stake in her future, my daughter has a better platform than many and what I had. I'm satisfied I did my part. Her part? Well...She just completed her Masters in education. So far so good. Everyone in my immediate and extended family worked until retirement age(generally unless dying prematurely) lived for 10-20 years and passed away. This is "normal" as I have observed and I'm on track to do just that. We'll see. [/QUOTE]
