You don't have to "put kids through college". If you're in the US, they can borrow to go somewhere decent and affordable. Harvard has never been for you, it has always been for the children of very rich New Englanders.

You should probably update your personal data on what kind of debt they would be taking on, and how long it takes to pay it off.

Even at a relatively average college, debt repayment is often measured in decades.
