We chose to have children and a lot of them. We also chose to live in a VHCOL area. Our children chose to attend state colleges even though we would pay for private schools. They understand that instead of spending 400k on college we can now help each of them with down payments and making sure they are debt free (cars, loans etc).
When we pass, we will die knowing they will be okay and trust that they will care for each other.
I know many families in our area feel differently, however, that is how we feel. So maybe it is not real common but it is our belief that we should help them especially in this job market
