I would like some input. I helped my son out with room and board. His tuition was covered with scholarships. He worked some, but went 14K in debt with a semester in Australia. He’s been in college for four years, but is still 4-5 courses away from graduating. He just asked for me to pay for his summer classes which are about $1200. I paid 300 toward tuition and 140 toward books. I also gave him $200 two weeks ago for food until to cover him until he starts getting paid for his new job. He asked me for more money and I declined. I feel guilty for not helping him out, but it has become very apparent he isn’t responsible with money…I was just wondering how many of you out there are paying your own way through college?
note: I do have the money to give him, but I want him to learn how to budget his money. He has never been willing to sit down and let m show him and he’s never taken my advice.
