[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We pay school expenses. They pay for all extras and fun. Going abroad this fall and we may have to pitch in a little more for the fun as the summer job and internship may not yield enough $. [/quote] I paid for everything, including fun and expenses. I was poor when young. Abandoned by my father who thought I was a worthless loser, my mother was an addict. On my own on athletic scholarship since age 18. I promised my.kids they could go anywhere they wanted. My life goal was to break the cycle. I did not expect to pay for Princeton, but really it was a privilege. No debt anywhere - cycle broken. No debt anywhere. I suspect that I should have had them put in a little skin in the game, but they are great kids. From a scared kid at 18, it was my important life goal. To be blunt, they are talented and I had little to do with that. [/quote]
