[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Paying 100% of your kids’ college is a DMV thing. I’m from PA and it’s not the expectation. None of my siblings gs helped their kids through college.

For me, I agree on skin in the game. And I think that a lot of college is a waste of money. If your kid needs a specialized program then expensive might be necessary. But most are fine with community college and a state university. So that’s what I’m willing to pay. Beyond that, they are on their own. [/quote]

I did not grow up in the DMV and my parents (who never went to college) paid for my in state college tuition and like 75% of grad school.

They had 1 kid and really wanted me to have more opportunities than them so they pinched pennies and saved from the time I was born, and my dad worked longer than he would have otherwise I’m sure. Because of education, my parents who grew up working class were able to have a child who is now UMC in the DC area signing their kids up for bougie camps and travel sports.

Don’t pay for college for your kids if you don’t want to/can’t, but I am so grateful my parents did this for me. And I don’t think the idea of paying is just a DC area thing. [/quote]
