[quote=Anonymous]This happened in my family fairly recently. My parent made a grand proclamation that “all grandchildren’s college tuitions will be paid for so don’t worry I’m paying!” There are 9 grandchildren! Amazing! My DC happens to be the oldest and chose community college for 2 years, then transferred, achieved degree. My parent paid for it all. Awesome. Next grandchild went out of state to a very expensive private university. Grandparent paid for travel, books and campus meal plan. Ok, nice. That’s generous but maybe not equivalent to my DC. The next 3 years, grandparent dialed back to just “helping with books and if you need some extra money, just ask” and some very modest cash presents - $100 here and there. My youngest started college and grandparent pulled the plug; sorry, moving into a continuing care community and need all extra savings. My parent died suddenly a few years later and we ended up inheriting money to put the rest through college.[/quote]
