[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]I see parents paying for their kids to go to college, and it makes me sad. Those are kids who will never truly be independent. We could pay for college for our kids, but we decided that it was not our jobs. [/quote]

[b]That's one of the dumbest things I've ever read.  What a ridiculous, and untrue, stereotype.[/b]  [/quote]

Agreed.  If you do not want to pay for your kids education - it's your choice.  But...in many cultures it is the very least you do for your kids future. I have lived frugally for many years because my kids  want to go to medical school.  My children have seen what my priorities are and they give 100% to their school and extra-curricular activities. They are responsible and hardworking kids.   I do not want them to get a job at a burger place, but rather a volunteer or internship experience for their college apps.

My kids will be independent and fiscally responsible because we are. Our monetary gift to them is a solid start in life without student loans. My parents did the same for us.
