[quote=Anonymous]So I get that one family does not make sample. But my parents paid 100% for me and my two siblings college AND grad school. Dad made a lot of money. All three of us have worked everyday since graduating and have lucrative careers. One spouse was stay at home. The other two spouses had to pay for their own college and grad school and have had year long gaps of no employment more than once, do not make nearly as much, appear to dislike job and frequently talk about retiring early (since spouse makes enough). Not at all bad spouses but just not the same work ethic. So imo making kids pay for college does not mean developing their habits for life. And having your education paid for does not make you a lazy fool. Times have changed. There is no one size fits all. But I think a parent is the best judge of whether or not there needs to be skin in the game for their kid and there does not need to be a set answer. Of course, this is if you can afford it in the first place. [/quote]
