[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a little surprised at the uniform reactions on this one. Plenty of people I know went to college with zero help from parents.

Of course there is a ton of life long resentment for it. So your husband and you should be prepared for that.

The other thing is the kids will be forced to make 1 of 2 choices: take a lucrative career they might not like or decide they aren't financially stable enough to have kids. So you all also may need to accept not having grandkids. [/quote]

Are they your age? The college finance game has changed dramatically in 25 years. [/quote]

Fairly recently, I had about 140K in loans with my parents. I also had friends with divorced parents where one parent refused to help so it was my friend and their other parent that had to take out all the loans. [/quote]

Your parents loaned you the money? Did they charge interest? What was the repayment term?

You can’t get student loans in excess of about 37k total for undergrad without a parent co-signer. [/quote]

They cosigned and I was responsible for making payments. That's usually the arrangement friends had with parents that refused to pay for college. [/quote]
