Leaving money or real estate is not "leaving a legacy" for a child/grandchild. My memories of my parents and in-laws revolve around the conversations and good times we had together...not what they left me!
You know I completely understand that. Real world-TODAY a college education is now the equivalent of a high school diploma. Right or wrong big business and society do not put much value in a high school education, thus the emphasis on College. And while memories are a great thing-they don't pay for college. Historically real estate has been a sound investment. Selling that investment and buying something on 4 wheels is not going to help your grandchildren.
Wow. Here's a news flash for you'all. College certainly doesn't guarantee you anything anymore. The majority of students do NOT get a job in the area they studied or even get a job period. They have so much debt when they graduate. Not to mention going to college to become a teacher? Teachers make below middle income wages. :( The money is and always has been is in the trades. With out the trades the world doesn't turn.
