Default Re: College Expenses

Well in my family or dhs family college was not paid for by parents & me & my brother & sister all went & all found our own money to pay for it & so did dh. And I wouldnt pay for my kids college either because I believe they can do it we do have savings for each of them I told dh its so they can get a car & get a job to pay for thier own college education!! We have little saved for each of the girls but thats more than my parents did.

I always saved but I did it since I was 7yrs old!! I would save money in a savings account it started from a paper route I got when I was 7 & it was my brothers route, I just took over. And after that I saved babysitting money & whatever else & got my first car at 16 in cash & never took a loan out on a car after that & went to college working ft with a 1 yr old dd at 19 the only regret I have is I didnt take up something else!!
