Great words of wisdom Dee!
When our oldest daughter was in high school we got some great advice from a family friend about college. They would both think that their college choices were on THEIR dime. They were both very good students and we wanted this to continue. Upon graduation they both were given a check to cover all of their costs. They both were so thankful we had done it this way. They learned a lot along the way. Too many kids squander opportunities when they are paid for by their parents. There are many ways to get to the same place...this was our way.
Gene - what a great idea! I took out loans and worked multiple jobs to pay for college ( it WAS a lot cheaper in those days). I have two daughters in high school - will discuss this with my wife. Thanks!
