I can't afford $10,000 a year and we live far below our means. Their accounts get perhaps $1,000-$2,000 a year deposited and invested and that is a group effort by more than a dozen people who would otherwise be spending that money on toys or treats or trips. My kids get less presents because of it and they will never see Disneyland or Europe, vacations for them are spending a week with their grandparents or day trips to the lake. They all wear hand-me-downs, my youngest son's bike is pink (okay was pink) and my daughter's Easter dresses are all made by their mother. But trinkets, clothes, and kid-vacations are fleeting and forgotten, but a good (marketable) education can provide them so much more for so much longer.

Amen!
