[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'll be the guy who supports the OP's side. If you are a parent who can afford to pay for your child's education but chooses not to, you are a shitty person and a bad parent.[/quote] We can afford to pay for any college in full. I have one in college, at a private school - it is paid for by a combination academic scholarship, college fund, student loans and cash. She is also working 2 jobs. She pays for her books and living expenses with her jobs. It is a bit of a tough road from time to time but I do think it important that she understands the importance of her education and feels "ownership" in providing for it as an adult - because that's what she is, an adult. We anticipate the debt she graduates with to be less than $15K. I agree that contributing nothing to a kid's education when you can more than afford to do so is unfortunate, but I think there is *immense* value in making sure the kids have skin in the game.
