I am putting as much as I can away for my son's college (he is 3 currently). My schooling was paid for and while I took it seriously I know I goofed some. My wife paid for her schooling and had almost 20K in debt after all was said and done - She spent her entire time in school really stressed out about how she was going to pay for it. We paid off her student loans last year.
As for leaving money - I know my father wants to leave me some. I don't expect or want him to even think about it as he worked hard and should enjoy it. That being said I want to leave my son something as well. Guess it is that desire to help out as much as possible all the way up to the end. I also want him to be stand up independent guy so it is a tricky balance.
