[quote=Anonymous]My parents didn't pay for my college. I had to earn a scholarship if I wanted to go. Luckily, I did- tuition, room, and board. I also worked to pay for my study abroad and my sorority dues. They gave me some money that was a portion of those two expenses after I had already paid them myself. For grad school, same thing. I was married by then (still am) and my husband paid for half of my degree and I paid for the other half. My husband paid our living expenses while I was in grad school. We paid off my student loans in one year from a combination of his and my income. After they were paid off, my parents gave me about a quarter of the tuition expenses for the total degree. They made a huge deal about it too, about how generous and supportive they are. My parents are very wealthy but also cold and distant. They thought that I would be spoiled if they helped me. :roll: [/quote]
