[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My parents did not pay for my college education.  Granted, I did not attend an Ivy, but I went to a very good university on my own dime and paid off my student loans by the time I was 23 and bought by first condo - by myself - without the help of my parents or anyone else, shortly thereafter.

I seriously don't see what is so wrong with the OP's post and why there is so much coddling going on with parents and their kids these days.

To the PP's that made the snarky comments about old age care - think about it.  Your self centered kids who have everything handed to them are REALLY not going to be the best care givers and it frightens me that when I am old and decrepit that a bunch of millenials will be in charge of me!

So!  I am glad my parents threw me to the wolves and made me self-sufficient because I shudder to think that I will have to rely on any of your self-important kiddos when I am in my glory days.  Hopefully I will keep my good health and not ever have to be at the mercy of a younger generation taking care of me.[/quote]

The day you start collecting Social Security is the day the "self-important kiddos" start to support you. Remember that. And also know that you will never keep your good health forever and you will absolutely be at the mercy of a younger generation to take care of you. Of course, someone might not want to take care of you because you sound pretty nasty.[/quote]
