It should not be a parent's responsibility to pay for any college at all. He's an adult. It's their money. It doesn't matter how much of it they have. Yeah, it sucks he's in debt a lot, but he will be able to pay it off if he succeeds. Never understood all this "college fund" stuff. That's why there's student loans.

Once you hit 18 your parents are no longer responsible for you.....Higher education is not the responsiblility of the parents except by choice. Otherwise.. what concerns me is that there was no education allowance set aside for him which is what wealthy parents do. Be happy that you have someone that is independent of his parents no matter how much money they have. Remember that is their money not his... They earned it and so there fore spend it the way they see fit. On the other hand they are teaching him values and howto value the dollar...He will be paying off loans for a while but the field that he is studying in will earn him the income he will need.. The President and 1st lady just paid of their student loans a few months ago... Keep your chin up...

My suggestion is this, if him being in debt is a problem then why don't you offer to pay for his loans?

His family situation is his own business and as you have stated you have grown up with a different situation than his. Different families have different values and different opinions about both money and education.

He honestly is so unbelievably lucky to have parents kind enough to have paid entirely for his undergraduate education, a luxury the majority of students do not have. Also, unless he is a genius and is a teenage grad student, he is an adult and should not be expected to lean on his parents as a financial crutch.

You are an adult and aware of your boyfriends financial situation. You need to decide what is more important, your relationship and settling with the fact that you may have to have a job to help support yourself, or your desire to be a stay at home mother without a job and settle with the fact that to do so you may have to end the relationship and look elsewhere.

My opinion is that people can spend or not spend their money on anything they want. Now if his parent's do not wish to pay any further for his education then I do not see that they have any obligation to do so. Yes he is their son but it seems that he is old enough to get on in life. I do not think that because of their wealth he should rely upon them for financial support. I don't think he is being treated unfairly and that their is a point where a person must begin to support themselves. How is he going to afford his house and a family if he cant work up to it and relies solely on his parents wealth. I think that his parents may be trying to let him get on in life without their support and accumulate a wealth of his own(not substantial to theirs but he should work for his money). This may sound harsh but it is how many people have to go through their education.

You may have to change your plans. Maybe you will have to help him pay it off and/or support you and your family and not just become a stay at home mum. You cant just rely on your boyfriend for that when he has other financial obligations that will take up much of his income.

The parents do not owe him College fees.
She did what she wanted really no concern of yours.
He has loans, he pays them off.

I think the real question here is; why don't you use paragraphs to split up that wall of text?
You obviously have good written English.

But, maybe the parents feel that they don’t want to give him an "unfair" advantage over other people because of their wealth.

my kids knew all along growing up i would not pay for college for them
if someone thinks going to college will improve their life,then it is an investment they have to do for themselves. no one else should have to

he is a BF to you,this is not your place to worry about your future paying back school loans

parents paying for school is a handout,what else do You call someone (even parents) giving you over 6 figure to pay for your school?

funny thing about loans,they all have interest. you know this when you take out a loan

if you always planned on staying home and having lots of kids,then why did you even go to college and have daddy pay for it. seems like a poor investment for both of you,perfect reason for dad's not to pay for schooling

did they teach you how to use paragraphs to what you write could be read By others?


you sound pretty spoiled.
