[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I applied to college without assistance from my parents 20 years ago. Why do parents feel the need to help kids now? Is the process more complicated or is helicoptering just too ingrained? [/quote] Both of my kids applied for college, filled out FAFSA and paid for college themselves. One is 24 and the other is graduating in May. Both finished in four years. Kids CAN be self-sufficient people![/quote]Great for you. The majority of 18-year olds do not have access to their parents financial information. Respectfully, just because your children were able to pay off their loans almost right out of college does not diminish those who do not. Sorry, but there is no 'golly gee' moment here.[/quote]
