[quote=Anonymous]Pay for college; make them work to pay for extras, like spring break, eating out etc...

We could afford private college but it would mean eating into our retirement and working till 65, which in our industry, I don't think we will last that long.

But, we can certainly pay for public, which we will do.  But, DCs know that they will be expected to get a job to pay for incidentals and extras.

Both DH and I worked because we had to to pay for living expenses, and for me, tuition as well.

Older DC has been working in HS for 1.5 years, and they like earning their own money. Younger DC#2 fully expects to get a job at 16 and in college, too.

You can also tell them that if they get below a B average then they will need to come back home and go to community college until they can manage the 4 year. Or maybe college isn't for them.

I disagree with others.. just because you can afford it doesn't mean you should pay for it if it's not worth it because your kid doesn't like or can't deal with studying in college.[/quote]
