Mrs. Bears and I took the highly unusual step of paying for the college education of both of our sons.
Both took longer than the customary four years to complete their undergraduate degrees, so I sometimes question the wisdom of decision.
Regardless, our oldest, now working, has come to realize the great gift he was given as he listens to his peers complain about their student loan debt. The youngest, recently graduated, knows but won’t admit it just yet.
One of the best gifts we can give our kids. The old days of working summers for tuition are long gone as tuition outpaced wages over a few decades.
Think these kids loaded with debt will care about paying for their elders care down the road?
We are also paying for both. My son decided to live at home so he will have money left when he graduates. Plus he is working two jobs.
