So I save... skip vacations... don’t buy a boat... let the roof leak... drive a beater... put my kid through college... then the rat bastards who had all of the fun and forced their kids to run up debt to go to college..... look like the heroes in the end?
Hell to the no.
Yep. Those of us who sacrificed to give our kids a better life than ourselves are the chumps. But at least we can sleep well at night, even if it is on an old lumpy mattress under a leaky roof. The Jones's will be up late. Sure, they're up late looking at the pictures of their trip to Tahiti and thinking about trading in the Lexus, but I'm sure it will bother them.
NO. I'm tired of the government taking money out of my pocket and giving it to people less responsible than me. Frequently, these folks are wealthier than I am, yet they need MY money.
Did all of that, too. Got my son through his Associate’s degree, have another coming up behind him. Will get that one through their Associate’s, too.
Medical debt nearly destroyed us. Don’t have enough for the full 4 years.
Now my son can’t go to the college of his choice for his Bachelor’s, even with academic scholarships, because they won’t fund it without us taking out hefty loans. Great kid, Dean’s list every semester, responsible, holding down a job and volunteering, VP of the Republican Club at his campus, graduated with honors, studying to be an attorney.
He had to take this semester off to regroup and consider a cheaper school.
If I was an irresponsible douche, the money would have flowed in.
Even though it would help my family, I’m with you.
