The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

“ If they every have kids, we will pay for their college education.”

Thanks IP for your detailed thoughts. The gift of a great college & med school education and leaving debt free was the large & best gift imo from my parents. We did not receive other real gifting until recent years from my mom, but being debt- free was very liberating after a pretty long training (30yo before joining a private practice).

My brother & SIL has adult kids and grandkids and he has gifted the max 5 years early in their adulthood ( nearly $200K) to help each child & their spouse with home ownership. I like that decision.
