Yep, we actually sold our house four years ago and downsized, so we could bank some cash towards my son and daughter's education.
All our 'middle class' friends thought we were crazy, managing to get by in a three bedroom house with only one bathroom and maybe one holiday a year.
Difference being, while their kids were coasting, my two have got to see what real life is like for most 'ordinary' people, and also have a bit of their dad's Moss Side fight in them.
I went to bloody Claremont Road, if my two go to Uni with a bit of cash in their accounts, me and the wife will have done something right.
