Default Re: College Expenses

Both my DH and I had college paid for by our parents and we are very very grateful. I will always regret that I couldn't offer my first two the same thing. This third one has a small college fund started by his grandmother. She plans on giving each of her grandchildren (she thought it was only going to be 2 until we started a family) an education so they won't have loans. That is all she's talked about for years. Now that the oldest is a senior she is facing reality. She has given tons of money to them and their parents and there is little except a bad attitude and worse habits to show for it. She has said now that she will pay half the tuition but no room and board next year. I applaud her decision but wish she had warned them. He other kids and grandkids need to learn the lessons my DH did.
