The majority of American parents say they would put off retirement for at least two years if it would financially help their children attend their dream college, according to a survey by savingforcollege.com.
Of the parents surveyed, 80 percent said they would work another two years to pay for a top-choice school.
Nine percent of respondents said they would direct their child to a less expensive school and six percent said they would rather take on more debt to pay for college instead of delaying retirement.
