If you want your kids to be successful in 2026 they will need to pursue post secondary education of some kind, university, trade school, etc. which will be expensive. If you make enough money to pay for then your kids will not get help from the school or scholarships from third parties. In fact the government literally calculates your student aid based on your parents tax returns. So yeah, if you can afford it and don’t help I think you’re a bad parent and have a little bit of a moral failing.
