[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yet another reminder that our parents never have, and never will, give us a cent for anything. And how nice it would have been if they had.

So jealous of those of you who benefitted from that. We plan to do the same for our child as the debt of an education can be absolutely crippling, and prevent wealth accumulation (e.g., saving, buying a house, investing). [/quote]

This is great...but then at least give OP some advice.  I guess the advice would be that OP gets a lucrative side-hustle or a 2nd job so that they can pay for their kid's grad school.

I guess I am lucky that my own kids are quite practical with respect to grad school.  If one pursues, it will be a STEM PhD and even they already know it will be fully-funded by the PhD program and it is in a very hot STEM field where grad students can make a decent amount of $$$s working for sponsor companies.  The other sees lots of under-employed people with graduate degrees (including professional graduate degrees) in addition to others doing well...however, they recognize the value of going into the workforce for several years (and maybe never turning back) before pursuing graduate school that they expect to pay for themselves.[/quote]
