[quote=Anonymous]PP here who has saved enough to cover grad school - or start up - or whatever. Nope, not born on 3rd base. Born to immigrant parents who paid nothing for my education (didn't even realize I was applying ... to community college). I had to borrow $2500 for my first semester at MoCo. My babysitting money helped pay the rent when I was a young teen. I opted for "early release" from high school, my senior year at the age of 15, so I could work at a five and dime 30 hours a week. Graduated at 16 and moved out soon after. Ended up doing great at a top grad school and have been successful - because of my own initiative and admittedly also a good bit of luck. I just happen to think my kids can have a better life and still succeed. I can make it happen, and I have worked my whole life to make it so. And wouldn't change anything about my life (or my kids').
