We did not think we had enough disposable income to fund our son’s education – despite his grandparents willingness to help. Our monthly outgoings were significantly reduced, enabling the savings to be invested to pay for the give remaining school years and meaning the shortfall in our mortgage was addresses, leaving us £60 per month better off.
