[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We all choose how we spend $$.  If you want to put it towards a house (car/trip/whatever) then college choices are limited to what the family can manage.  There is nothing special about housing choices.  If contributing to college is not a priority, it is totally fine, but don't expect the college to handle it for you.[/quote]

College is so expensive and financial aid so common that people forget it is a form of charity, not an entitlement.[/quote]

Omg! This is so true! The sense of entitlement in this country is just breathtaking. [/quote]

The widespread acceptance of outrageous college tuition in this country, and people's willingness to blame parents and not the screwed-up higher education system for people's inability to bear those costs is just breathtaking.[/quote]

Not all schools are outrageous. 2 years of community college followed by 2 years in-state is still quite affordable.  The problem is the DCUM class wants their kids to go to the most highly rated college the kid gets into. That’s not the deal. [/quote]
