Whose Parents Pay for College?
This brings up an interesting topic of conversation.  My wife and I lived two very different lives.  Her parents paid for her $50k a year undergrad + $??K a year grad school.  She&#x27;s 1 of 3, and it was the same situation for her siblings as well.  Me on the other hand (1 of 3 as well) had $0 paid for, along with my siblings.<p>My parents believe the child is responsible for education because it&#x27;s their adult life they&#x27;re building.  My wife&#x27;s parents are the opposite- they believe it is an obligation as a parent to support college. Granted, my parents couldn&#x27;t afford to pay, but it&#x27;s been ingrained in me that parents are not obligated to pay for college.<p>Now, is there a social stigma, as a parent, NOT to pay for their child&#x27;s education?  We&#x27;re about to have a child, and we have this discussion quite regularly.
