My DD is 14 so a few years off yet, and of course she might not even go to uni but as things stand it looks likely.
I have just had an inheritance, and I plan to use the money to pay off my mortgage and save the rest towards my currently non-existent pension.
I would also like to put aside an amount for DD to see her through university (assuming a 3 yr course outside London) to save me having to pay out on a monthly / termly basis when the time comes. I can get 4% if I put the money in a Children's ISA now so it makes sense to put the whole amount in there now, rather than wait and see.
So how much would you say in total you have paid out for DC at uni? I am a LP and I anticipate at the time I'll be earning approx £25-30k. I'm not trying to cover everything - she can get loans for fees and some maintenance but I have no idea what parents are paying on top these days?
