[quote=Anonymous]We have a college student in a five-year degree program. We’re struggling to support her going into fifth year. We covered four years of tuition plus car payments, insurance, apartment, and all medical. She does work, but only a couple of days a week. Classes are three days a week, so it leaves another one or  two days she could be working. She also told us that she plans to take all hard classes this year and have an easy fifth year, so she can have fun. Also, wants to quit her summer internship with the gov’t agency she worked for every summer since her second year. It will lead to a firm job offer if she will finish her internship this summer and passes her CPA exam.

Current plan is she takes out gov’t loan to cover her last year ~7k. We will still be paying for her apartment. I am proposing to both DH and her to start paying for her own car insurance (starting this summer) and her car payment (starting in January 2026. She will need to work 1/2 more days a week. I am also not okay with her quitting her internship with the current economic outlook. Thoughts? [/quote]
