[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is their life, not yours. Sure, help them with a spreadsheet, and then let go. They either meet the deadlines or they end up at Community College...[/quote] Community College is not part of our family's plans. We will do what's necessary to maximize my family members' outcome and CC does not fit that bill. You can choose not to.[/quote] It is not "your family's outcome." It is his (or hers) alone. They have to attend college solo, and succeed for fail there. You are not helping them prepare for those years by being too quick to jump in and save them now.[/quote] By doing this now, I'm freeing him up to focus on his school and essays. We teach our kids to swim, not throw them in the water and hope they survive. Assuming I do nothing and he ends up at a CC, his lifetime earnings and lifestyle will be impacted. How dumb that you'd be OK with that? Depends on the family, I suppose..[/quote]
