Rayhale, you mentioned something that reinforced my plans for my own children.
My husband and I are going to encourage our children to do college, a mission and the military. We would love it if they do all three, but that's not our choice to make for them. But it would be easier to do all three, and it would be at no expense to them.
We have set money back for our children. If they choose to go on a mission, it will be paid for in full by us, no questions asked. We are never going to be very wealthy people due to the nature of our future career plans so we can't really afford to help them out with college. But we could probably do a mission for each of our children. I don't want my kids to have to make the choice of if they should go on a mission or not based on finances. So the deal is if they wish to go on a mission, it is paid for. We already have that account started for them.
As for college, if they did a stint in the military then that would be paid for too. But we simply cannot do that for them. Looks like loan city for them otherwise. :P
