[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I get the value of a buck; I grew up low middle class.  But now that we're new rich, I have to say I feel a bit disgusted by the parents of my kids' friends who live in $2 million houses but insist their kids go to instate colleges.  Nothing wrong with going in state, but to make it a requirement stinks when you clearly have $$, IMO.  [/quote]

Exactly.[/quote]

Even if you're rich, there's nothing wrong with insisting you will only pay for your kids to go to an in-state college. Not everyone thinks private schools are worth it. No one is owed an expensive college education. If the kid is that put out by it, he can take out loans/get academic scholarships to cover the rest of the cost and realize he's still far ahead of many.

Then again, I live in Virginia and think our range of in-state options is more than acceptable. If I lived in another state, I might feel differently.[/quote]

Rich people become wealthy people by spending their money wisely.  Just because you can afford something doesn't mean you should buy it.[/quote]

And many rich people realize that spending their money wisely includes paying for a good education so that their kids are more likely to get good jobs pay well and thus keep up the family wealth.[/quote]
