17. I can't fathom it either.

I think this is where the resentment begins. Kids who have had to put themselves through college because of asshole parents that have the money but won't pay the tuition sometimes grow up resenting the world. I've told my kids, don't tell anyone that your tuition will be taken care of by your parents, just in case they come across people holding a grudge.

For me, it's always been about making sure the next generation has at least that education. They don't need cars on their sixteenth birthday and all the other flashy crap. But if you can show them that the degree is worth having if you can afford one, everything else begins to fall in place.
