Our approach seems to be mirroring yours, and given you are the sage and I am the apprentice when it comes to parenting experience, I am happy to hear that my wife and I are doing it right.
Leaving BYU, I didnt really have a ton of student loans. I had some pell grants and scholarship dough, but also used student loans. BYU law school doesnt cost all that much. I think all told, I entered the work force with maybe $20K in student loans max?
It wasnt enough to be a huge burden, but as you say, if you can help your kids, why not do it? If people have real student debt, like say....100K....that could be beastly.
