The point being made is that in the UK you don’t need to save for your child’s tuition like in the US.

I personally think it would be doing my son a real disservice if I saved up money I could use now to benefit his childhood for him to just study with nothing else going on when he’s (possibly) at uni.

My alongside study jobs are what gave me the skills and experience to build my career, matured me, built my confidence, where I met my maid of honour and my best friends. If I’d been handed a Cheque every month so I could sit in a prepaid for flat that my parents scraped together for me during my childhood rather than using that money for doing things when I was a kid I’d have none of that.
