[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Classic “I don’t have any money left after I spend it all” thread.

College pricing is now more differentiated than ever. [b]The donut hole that existed when I was a kid has actually been fixed.[/b] You just don’t like being asked to save what you could have, if you had made it a priority. [/quote]

Oh, really? Then this entire thread and all these posters' experiences are just made up stories?

Kid, someday when you grow up, you will realize life is not fair. Most people don't jump straight into 6 figure salaries upon graduation with no debt. There are things like life expenses that get in the way. There are things like bad economies and unemployment. There are things like oh, Mom needs financial help. There are many, many things that get into the way of being able to build up the kind of savings to pay for an Ivy degree without assistance while still being responsible for your retirement and having a decent place to live and living a decent life.

Shrugs. No one is entitled to a fancy degree. We all know that. But whining that parents didn't save enough money and should be shamed is a childish thing to do when you don't have any clue as to what their life story was. [/quote]
