Flapping your gums about sh1t you know nothing about. Let me explain it to you. Each semester the student gets a bill, tuition, housing, meal plan, etc. There are credits for merit and for any aid. I pay the balance. Each student is given around $2,500 in aid per semester, a loan, in the students name, that they repay after they complete their education. I pay the remaining balance every semester. I don't pay their loans. Are you done? Are you finally gonna shut up about this now? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We were lucky that Arizona gives pretty much a free tuition ride to kids who excel at SATs and/or GPA. I negotiated with my wife that we would pay for room and books like she wanted, but they would work for any spending money. It worked well, as all three worked during summers and as their course loads allowed during the semester. One of the three changed majors and took > 4 years; we did have her take out loans to help pay for that, since the above scholarship expired. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

One of the three changed majors and took > 4 years; we did have her take out loans to help pay for that, since the above scholarship expired. I agreed with it as well. I mean, I also think he could have simply paid the entire expense and had an agreement with me to pay him back X amount within a certain time, rather than an actual loan... but I get it. I had a scholarship but there were other schools that were giving me closer to a full ride that I could have (and likely should have) chosen instead. I was sort of the opposite in that I paid for my books and "living" stuff. I did not work while I was at school but I had worked all through HS and did so during winter and summer breaks so spending money was never an issue... and also why I paid off my student loans within a year of graduating anyway. I know it's a nonsensical jab but the entire college process begins well before adulthood, if you're doing it right. Is a lot of it overkill? absolutely. but I would say as early as sophomore year you had to be aware of GPA, honors classes, clubs, volunteer work, sports and then eventually testing, recommendation letters, the actual applications and essays. I was probably 15/16 when my father discussed with me that i'd have a student loan. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's what I said when this whole Tiny Man pissing match started. If you're rich and pay for your kids education why the student loans. Have them pay you back instead of giving someone else the interest. A - He's a liar and doesn't have the money. B - He's bad at finance.

B - He's bad at finance. C - Both A and B If you are referring to gutterchild, I have no idea. you could be right as he seems to lie quite a bit. However, regardless of any of that, if he had his kids take out student loans, they are in fact not his debt. As for my father, he made very good money. His rationale for paying for our education was more along the lines of he and my mother chose to have children and part of that choice is providing for your children, including college (which as I stated a few posts up in a response to Jerry is a process that starts as early as 14 years old), at the same time he was always about instilling responsibility our whole lives, so telling us we would have to take out at least a small student loan was just part of how he operated. So yes, I agree with you in theory, and at the end of the day it didn't matter much as I paid my loan off within a year of graduating... the interest was minimal.
