If you had cancer, would you seek and pay for treatment if your retirement fund would pay for child's college?

Yes i would.

There are many ways to get alot of college paid for,through scholarships and funding ect ect.

Many people can and have worked their way to college.

And college does not gauruntee a better life for your child.

But if you use this money to save your life,There will still be chances for college,People can go to college whenever they like but You only have little time to start treating cancer.

of coarse you use that money for treatment you kids want you here . they can take out loans and work there way through college that builds there character anyway. this shouldnt even be something you are considering.a college fund is not more important than your life and if you didn't use that money and you died your kids will carry that guilt with the for the rest of there lives.

I would do everything possible to survive there are many ways to go to collage like take out a student loan get grants get a scholarship etc......... surviving is more important than anything I think that a child would feel horrible if there parent died jest so they could go to collage.

I'd try to save myself just a little bit. Or else what would I be teaching my child? Sending your kids to school on your dime is more important than trying to save your life? I don't like that message.

I'd rather look for a loan or something before I would resort on doing that. I don't want to ruin his opportunities just to save my life. Besides, his college is already guaranteed because of that,

would have to depend entirely on the intelligence of the child concerned - college is not and never will be, the be-all and end -all of productive adults

no we all have are time so i would happerly let my self go and let the child live i would even go as far that if any help i was revicing was cost to much that it should stop and have my self shot

I would use anything but my kids college fund

yes

yes...the kid can work their way through college like I did.
