I agree. When you are raised without any frills or extras in this life, you think differently about money...and appreciate it. My daughter almost cried when we went over her school bill and realized it was paid. She is determined to make something of her life. I have agreed to support her financially if she does her part.
I told my girls straight up, I can't afford to send you to college...you will need to get scholarships or apply for grants. The school let me know about 21st Century Scholars when the two youngest were in the 8th grade.
My oldest is just now deciding to go back to school in Jan...after realizing you really need an education, she is only making $12 an hour @ her job. I hope she makes it ok, she isn't the most disciplined and doesn't live with me.
