[QUOTE="money_pit_yj, post: 717307, member: 7710"] I think it is awesome asking advice on college funds to a bunch of men who beat the crap out of their kids college funds to get to the top of a hill :driving: :rolf: That is a joke, I think there are a lot of different perspectives here, so it is a good place to ask. My parents paid for my lodging and books while I was in school. I lived in a fraternity house so all my meals were paid with my room and board. The state paid my tuition through vocational rehab programs because I have "learning disabilities" (ADHD) :rolf: :dunno: My responsibility was truck, fuel, extracurricular activities and living expenses other than room and board. I made terrible grades my first semester and got put on notice that if I did it again I was coming home and paying my parents back. I am fortunate that my degree has helped me in my career so I am a big supporter of college as long as you go for the right thing. I had it good and will never be able to thank my parents enough for helping me. To this day, my dad still works full time because the money he should be putting up for retirement he used to put me and my sister through school. I bought my boys a life insurance policy that accrues cash value so when they get ready to go to school, we can take the cash value of that policy and use it to send them through school. My father in law is wealthy and says he has all his grand kids school paid for, but I am not banking on that. As my kids get older we will have discussions about life goals and what they want to do. If they want to go the trade school route I will support them as long as there is a future in what they want to do and if they want a 4 year degree (or more) I will support them in that as long as it is not something like music history, philosophy or some stupid crap like that. If they want to get a degree or go into a trade that will not benefit them, I will let them pay for it. [/QUOTE]
