[quote=Anonymous]yes i grew up poor. very poor. We experienced homelessness. I have kids in college. we are paying their way 100%. One goes out of state so it’s expensive. Yes we got our kids tutors when they struggled. yes we sent them to camp. even sent them to camp in Germany over the summers to supplement their German language classes in public schools. yes we did travel sports, one of my kids was a recruited Athlete, but didn’t want to play in college so he passed on that. We are fortunate to be in a position where we don’t need the scholarship money.

we took them skiing each winter since they were small and still do take them on vacations even through they are in college. We bought them new cars when they turned 16 to get them the safest tech. I got one a coveted internship  last summer. He got a job offer afterwards and the company asked him to stay on part time while he finishes his senior year as an engineering major. he makes $50/hr working 10hrs a week from his apartment continuing to build his resume. Though i got him the internship, it was his performance that landed him a PT job while he finishes the school year and has landed him
his first job out of school making 6 figures.

The money we have spent has paid off well.  [/quote]
