Nope. She’s exactly right and smart. You, however, sound like an idiot.

It’s better for the whole family if the parents invest the money for their retirement since it’s unlikely to generate a significant return with the kids. I’d tell them they pay for the first year at a state school, if they get a 3.5 or higher I’ll pay. [/quote]

One of my siblings fits this profile (struggled to get a 3.0 in HS) and is now an airline captain making over $200k in their thirties.  Parents paid for flight school and a degree at a low-ranking school.  Another family member barely graduated high school, took accounting classes at the CC, started a construction company, and made $ 1m-$10m annually for decades.   College isn't for everyone, and just because someone doesn't do well in school doesn't mean they won't have a strong workout if they find their path.  The most important thing is to help your kids find their path and support them however you can.  [/quote]
