[quote=Anonymous]Sounds like the author (and PP's DF) did everything wrong. My parents were working class and saved every dime to pay for my education. But they were great, intelligent people who provided a very enriching childhood on practically no money. I ended up getting a full academic scholarship to 5 of the universities I applied to (went to a public ivy and paid for rent/groceries by working a lot and tutoring) and also got a full merit scholarship plus stipend for grad school (private). I told my parents to keep their money for retirement. They deserved it for being able to raise me as well as they did on almost nothing. I don't know if it'll work for my DD and DS, but they are also bright and I am also going to save for their education while enriching their lives in (mostly) non-monetary ways.[/quote]
