[quote=Anonymous]I was on financial aid in college and we were required to work during the year and definitely they didn’t budget for stuff like eating out (just the college meal plan).  It was irritating because the meal plan food was sooooo bad and all the rich kids just ordered in food every night and I was literally hungry a lot.  But I still didn’t complain to my parents because I had asked to go to that school, and I found friends who were like me whose parents weren’t paying for the nightly pizza or Thai food order.  (We were psyched for 25 cent ramen noodles, and we all had jobs 8-10 hours per week).

I would have a hard convo with him and say — look, this is what we can afford without compromising our retirement.  Trust us, you do not want us to be a burden on YOU in retirement and we are trying to avoid that.  If you have regrets about this school, you can look into transferring to a state school that would be more in our budget.  That has to be your choice — it’s your life.
