[quote=Anonymous]I kind of get OP. The kid has shown he is not serious about getting a good education. Why would you want to pay for him to just party at college and barely graduate? I think that's what OP is seeing in her son. Maybe the kid will grow up in college, but maybe not. It really depends on the kid. If as a parent you don't have a lot of money, I'm not sure you want to gamble with your retirement. They clearly have no intention having their kids help them out in retirement (as my DH and I don't, either). I agree with another PP - I would say to my kid, go to community college, get a part time job to help pay for it, live at home. If after 2yrs, you show that you are serious about college, then we'll talk. But even at the 4 yr college, I think it would be a good thing for him to get a job and help pay for it. Studies have shown that kids value their education more and do better if they have a financial vested interested in it.[/quote]
