[quote=Anonymous][i]People make different choices with their money.

I have good friends who make about the same amount as my husband and I. They have two kids, live in a small townhouse, went to Taylor swift and several other concerts and experiences, just went on vacation to Europe, and have told their kids that they shouldn’t expect any help for college so to consider community college for the first two years then transferring. We have three kids, live in a single family home, and will have saved enough to pay outright for in state tuition for all three kids, but took a driving vacation, and don’t do any concerts (the last concert I attended was the 4th grade strings concert at our kids elementary school). Good people make different spending decisions.[/i]

(Post above is from earlier in the thread)

You call these "good people" who simply made "different spending decisions"? I call them idiot parents who are going to discover eventually that their children resent the hell out them for splurging on concert tickets and big vacations then having the gall to lumber the kids with either college debt or degrees that aren't that great quality. (And yes, I know all about the CC-to-Name College route, but it's not applicable everywhere for every kind of degree.)

When their kids hit their mid-20s and realize they're saddled for years with debt, when their parents could have made some different choices, the resentment will come home to roost.

I wonder if this couple does any saving for their own retirement or if they'll find out one day that they need the kids to help support them as they age....

Well, at least they can say they saw Taylor Swift back in the day! [/quote]
