My private school education was completely funded from Kindergarten through my undergraduate degree. Being the snobbish brat I was then, I wasn't as appreciative as I came to be when the cold hard world slapped me around a few times. I did go back and repent for my resplendent spending on momma's credit card throughout college. I decided to pursue a master's and doctorate and paid for these endeavors on my own and the feeling is different working for and paying for it on my own. I don't have children, but I would insist that they contribute financially to their post secondary education. I'll help them out early in life with a savings plan and regular contributions but as they mature, they must add to the fund too.
