[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Posting again since I’m not sure where mine went. OP only mentions her salary.  It’s possible the exceptional limited funds are life insurance payout after death of the child’s other parent. Let’s not presume it’s a trust or gift and judge her. [/quote]

She said it is from family, that’s not insurance. She said it is family money, but not in a 529, which means it isn’t listed when they ask for money.

But yeah, I judge her since she refuses to say the amount. [/quote]

Wow. DP here but that's a really harsh position.

College costs way too much these days. Surely OP can't be blamed for not wanting to spend her entire nest egg on high-priced colleges when there are less expensive opportunities.

Some posters are completely out of touch with the types of financial decisions that many parents have to make.

People like to pass judgement or flex their own situations, which is taboo to do in real life. But they still have the itch to boast or criticize….and anonymous forums provide the stage.

The fact is nearly all American parents of college-going students have financial limitations and must make hard decisions. They do what they can with limited resources.

Is it unseemly that people of good fortune criticize others? Yes, obscenely so. But that is human nature for you. It is what it is. [/quote]
