Ping to a sad article.
Yes, it is. TaxRelief suggests marriage before college, which makes more sense the more I think about it. Are most 18-22 year-olds mature enough to get the most educational benefit out of their (outrageously expensive) college years? Doesn't seem like it. I certainly wasn't, although I did get the Mrs., and then the B.A. :-).
One might say, When you're mature enough to be married, you're mature enough to make college worthwhile.
