Decent read. Some of the old posts are grumpy college students angry that this guy doesn't want to save for his kid's college.

Honestly, I'm surprised that comes up so often. When I think of things I would want to spend money on, no matter how frugal I'm being, a hypothetical kid is #1 with a bullet. Braces, college, the works. I would want my kid to have all the opportunities I can possibly give them, and money is key to that. Why is it always a thing that people single out when they're saving money? There's got to be some sort of correlation between the fiscally independent mindset and having the kid work themselves through college, but the obvious one seems so stereotypical that I doubt it.
