[quote=Anonymous]First, you need to step back and do not interfere. 
You might have a good ideas and good intentions but he said to butt out so, leave it alone. Just let your sister know that if they need help, just let you know but don't go writing checks immediately. Help with small quantities, small amounts, like purchasing books and providing resources and guidance to get finances on their own.

And I can say, if the kids are motivated, you can tell. 
I paid for FT college with grants and a part time job. But, I don't flaunt my degrees. But, I know a lot of people who didn't do well and making a lot of money. So, it depends on the person and how responsible they are to make things happen on their own. My DH on the other hand, his college payments were paid by his parents. And he wants his son to get the same help financially. So, he saves a lot for our son. But, I still think, I will teach my kid to be responsible enough to get things on his own as much as possible.

Although, everyone always say butt out and it's not your business, when something do happen, someone will say how come no body intervened.
