[DMCForum] Re: Paying for college

["Mike" <mcquinlan@xxxxxxxxxx>]

If you have to sell your car to pay for your kids college you 
certainly can't manage money or do simple long term planning and 
probably haven't put much thought into parenting to begin with.

If I couldn't afford to send my children to college, I wouldn't own 
a Delorean in the first place.
