I didn't think so 😭 at least not in America where college is $10k a year at the BAREST minimum. Whose parents can afford that???

Most people’s parents can afford it more than their kids can, considering they’ve had decades to save up. And I’ve found that even those who can’t really afford it still do, due to some weird sense of duty.

But idk bro. All I know is I’m the only one in my friend group who’s paying for myself. 🤷‍♀️

That's really interesting...I wonder why my parents aren't helping me at all despite making six figures and having made money from selling houses

Maybe they’re trying to teach independence? I know some parents do that to get their kids used to having to pay bills and be employed and such.

Well it isn't even that, in my case, since they've made it clear they don't want me moving out. Idfk they're so confusing
