[quote=Anonymous]The level of involvement needs to be high if parents are paying for college. Sadly, I can't easily afford any of the 50K per year or more colleges, so, yes, our involvement was crucial from the financial point of view. Our kids don't qualify for financial aid, but the process is what it is, and even if they think we can afford it, we know we absolutely can't. Does that make me a bad parent? Should I saddle myself with 200K debt, and double it after my second goes to college? I don't think so. Do I want my kid to get a bachelors degree and be saddled with 200K in debt? Also no. I see nothing wrong with our involvement, in this case. If we had that money, then my kids could choose, sadly that is not the reality for most families. So, from that point of view, OP, you sound judgy and high and mighty on your rich pedestal.[/quote]
