[Who dat?]

To pay for college for his daughter, Carli, he refinanced his $26,000 house, when he had just $5,000 left on the mortgage. After refinancing, he owed $45,000.

I like how it’s now an expectation that mommy and daddy will pay for college. I paid for my own by working and scheduling classes around work. My wife paid for hers by getting a full scholarship (it paid for almost everything). For spending money she had a waitress job and worked in a printing shop at one point. I have many, many relatives that either attended college while in the military, or after they got out for the non-career guys.

I'm doing that right now. Graduate in December. I know how ya feel, buddy. ;-)

My friend has a full scholarship, too. 3.9 GPA after taking 52 HOURS in 3 SEMESTERS. She waitresses for spend money. She doesn't work in a print shop, though. And she's WAY too high class to ever be MY wife. Guess the similarities stop there. Hehehe.

That's what I was thinking. My kids paid their own way by working, getting grants and loans. A college education paid for my parents is not as appreciated by the child as one they work for themselves. Self-esteem you know.
