2-year-old college student blows her ,000 college fund and blames her parents
04-25-2016, 04:53 PM
My parents really hooked me up with regards to paying for university. I had a trust they started when I was born. Whenever I earned my own money from 12-18 or got it for a birthday gift, I had to give them half. They would put that in the trust. In the end, all my tuition throughout my entire 4 years was covered by that trust. Scholarships i received went to housing, books, food.
At the time I didn't know it and thought they were just assholes. Really it helped me out a lot and I'm doing something similar with my kids.

Parents should have controlled the fund and allocated tuition fees and a monthly spending allowance into her account.

Could have avoided the entire thing by not going to college. I'm surprised the main stream hasnt caught onto how worthless a college degree is now.

I probably shouldn't say this - but one of my concerns about kids I do not have yet, is that they are stupid.

Depending on what school she is going to, $30k/year is right on the money of out-of-state 4-year college. Even your typical in-state public college fees will run around $20k for tuition plus room and board. Private colleges are closer to $50k.

Not saying she was smart with her money or that she isn't an ignorant basic ass bitch, but as sad as it is, $90k will not afford you a 4-year degree with room and board at an average out-of-state public college.
So move to the state you want to go to school at, work for a year, and get in-state tuition. Or go to community college for the first two years which is drastically cheaper. Or join the military and have uncle sam pay for it afterwards. There are a lot of options.

This chick is certainly no Einstein, but I mostly blame the parents in this particular circumstance. Just make sure to teach your children the value of a dollar.
