Also genx and I’ll “plant that tree that I’ll never see the shade of”. After having kids, I’m much more interested in long term livability and quality of life issues than when I had a shorter term outlook.

I did hesitate with college though - my younger one got into an expensive private school but at my age and economic situation I just can’t see adding more debt. They’ll have to be satisfied with public universities or deal with their own debt
