4. It’s fine to put yourself first before your kids
“Everyone wants their kids to go to college,” says Aliche, “but it’s more important for you to save enough for retirement. Because the best gift you can give your child is not a free ride to school, but rather not to be a financial burden on them when it’s time to start their own family”.
She also added that kids can get student loans or go to community college for two years; no one is going to lend you money without collateral when you’re retired.
