[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]9, 12. $0.

I paid for all 3 of my degrees on my own. I worked full time while in school. I valued my degrees and worked my ass off. My bothers joined the military and used the GI bill. My sister paid for her bachelor and masters degrees.

My parents paid for my college degree 100%.  I valued my degree as well and also worked my butt of at school. Paying for ones college does not make one value it any more than someone who does not have to pay for college. Being raised by parents to appreciate what you are given is more important than what you are (or are not) given.[/quote]

My parents put their six children through private colleges and universities, debt-free.  They were not wealthy but they were very hard-working and placed a priority on quality higher education.

We all understood that school was expensive and that my parents had worked hard to make sure we were educated.  We were all expected to work and contribute to tuition and to our living expenses, and we did.

And in the end, we were all very well-prepared for life and very grateful to our parents.[/quote]

They clearly weren't working or lower middle class if they could afford 6 private school tuitions debt free. Or this was a REALLY long time ago.[/quote]

I didn't say they were working or lower middle class.  But they were not wealthy by any means.  They did prioritize education and did not want us to have debt.

The point is, we understand what it took to pull it off, and are grateful.  None of us partied our way through school and we all worked as hard as our parents did to make it happen.[/quote]

They were wealthy if they paid full expenses for 6 kids. Not wealthy people can't do that. [/quote]
