[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My parents did this. HHI of 300k in the early 2000s and didn’t save a penny. And wouldn’t co-sign for private loans. Found out when I’d already gotten in to my dream school. [/quote]

Where did you end up?  I’m sorry, similar story here.  Can’t shake the resentment, years later.[/quote]
NP here, but this is similar to my story. I was accepted to Brown, ended up going to to UMD, which had awarded me a full scholarship. I have a normal MC life now, so it’s not like UMD plunged me into a life of poverty, but I’m bitter that my parents were so irresponsible and didn’t prioritize my education over designer clothing, vacations, and tithing to our church.

Wow.  Entitled much?

You’re angry that your parents have to the church??

I also attempted a state school on a full ride instead of paying for a more ‘prestigious’ college.  It worked out fine.  [/quote]

This is all very odd to me, since in my circles people seem to have concluded in their 25 years since graduation that college prestige matters much LESS than they thought. And yet this person is still thinking about it years later? If you didn’t become what you wanted in life, it’s not because you went to UMD instead of Brown.[/quote]
