[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m incredibly proud of what my kids have done in their post college years. (Yes, without loans). When they ask why we dont have a lake house I smille and remind them we paid $200,000 to $250,000 for each of them to attend their greatl LACs. [/quote] My mom had four kids. Her rules were everyone must get a graduate degree. All four kids did. Her other rules were no loans. Not allowed. Her final rule she was not paying for college. We all graduated loan free. I recall one day in grad school in freezing winter I worked ten hours at work had three hours of class and was doing homework at 1am. I was ready to drop out. My mom came downstairs and I told her she packed a bag of my stuff and opened the door and said drop outs don’t live in my house. I go it is freezing out and 1 am. She goes I am not the drop out you are. I changed my mind!! To the day she died still pissed at sister for not finishing PhD. Her only drop out. [/quote]
