I too as extremely lucky there. My brothers and I are our grandparents’ only grandchildren and I am the oldest so I benefited rom their savings.

And here’s the thing, since my husband’s family did the same for him, we were able to save for our kids’ education-which mercifully occurred over a decade ago so we were spared some of the recent huge increases at the state schools. They graduated with no debt hanging over them. This is how you get to financial stability and security. I would be willing to pay higher taxes for more people to be able to do this as they did 40 years ago. Possibly we could fund some of it with fewer special tax breaks for business, and fewer sports stadiums or something.
