My son is paying his way through college as I type. I paid my way through college, along with the Army helping me - and trust me, I EARNED every dime, LOL!

Neither of us are the worse for wear.

My sister? My parents paid for her 4 year useless degree. She has never used it and has always worked menial secretarial jobs becasue she decided she ‘didn’t like teaching’ after all those years of college. *Rolleyes*

Money down the toilet, IMHO.

Dad gave me an equal amount in cash that he gave Sis for school. I have lots of assets; she has a beater car and rents and continually has her hand out to Dad for more! I now take care of my widowed Dad and make sure all of HIS financial ducks are in a row as we stretch his remaining dollars into the sunset...

Now, which ‘investment’ paid Dad bigger dividends in the long run? :)

Love it! It just kills me to see how many people think they owe it to their kids to pay for college. It’s one thing if mom & dad can afford it, but it’s quite another if the parents put that college fund ahead of their own needs.

I say this as a parent who firmly believes that kids come first once you have them, that you must always consider their welfare in whatever you do while they are still minors.

My hearing aid warranty still has another year but my hearing aid salesman informed me that to continue it after that expires, it would cost me $200 per year, per ear. They cost $2500 apiece and it insures against, loss and normal wear and tear. Also $500 deductible for loss and replacement.

Does anybody think this is a good deal?

I’ve talked to my insurance agent to see what kind of deal I could get from him and all he has said so far is that they could be added to my home owner’s insurance and be treated as “jewelry” and it would be “expensive”.
