I don't believe this. Most parents try to help out their kids
from time to time, even after they've grown, and most parents
try to leave positive bequests. If your kids are going to be
better off, you can afford to help them out a little less and
spend a little more of their inheritance.

Or, if you're the sort of parent who *doesn't* offer this kind of
help, then you can always quite cold-bloodedly negotiate with the
kids: "I'll pay for your college, but you can pay me back later
at a hefty interest rate."

So whether you're a very giving parent on the one hand, or a very
non-giving parent on the other---either way, an increase in your
kids' future income should allow you to live better, starting now.

If you're the sort of parent who doesn't offer help, then obviously there's no sense in saving something that you're not gonna give anyway.

If you're the sort of parent who does offer help, why then, there's no need whatsoever to save either, because of course you'll have an extra $45,000 per year to pay for college when the time comes. Assuming college costs don't go up between now and then. And they never do.

You could be the only person in the whole world who's right on this, but somehow I doubt it.
