Should parents feel obligated to pay for their 20-yr olds college expenses?
Question:
Answer:
It really depends. If you have never been there for her or him than yes. If not then let him/her do it on their own.
No. She is 20, meaning that she can get a job and pay for it herself. The parents should pay because they want to.
If your parents did it for you, then yes.
If you are the step parent then STAY OUT OF IT.
If you are the kid, BEG!!!
parents are not obligated to you since you've hit adulthood 2 years ago.
get a job
If they can afford to, definitely
Not everyone has the ability to work and pay enough attention to their studies. My parents always gave me as much as they could, and it helped me immensely
noooooooooooooh! if a person wants to go college they should shell out the moolah themselves.
only if ...
1. the child will really appreciate it
2. the child deserves it
3. the child will work hard in college
Nope.Your helping them get a better education!Isnt that what you wanted.For your child to be rich smart and live a good life?
I think parents should pay some but a 20 year old should be working and paying for a portion of the college expenses too!
No. That is what student loans are for. Students can apply and receive funding for college this way. The only way parents should feel obligated is if they KNOW that they will be taken care of financially by their children in the future.
Now, most parents tend to feel they SHOULD pay for college. This isn't really the way the system works any more. Interest rates on student loans are very low, with emphasis on making them able to be paid back over time by the student. This is much more reasonable than having parents fork over the money immediately.
no they should be able to pay for them selves they are adluts and their parents are not always be there to do everything for them
Higher education is more important today than ever before. I believe that as long as you're working hard to keep your grades up and not goofing off, your parents should pay for your education.
However, it would help if you could get a part time job at least for the summers to pay for incidentals.
It all depends. Is the child responsible and grateful, or does he(she)take the parents for granted? Does the child want the education and is studying hard, or is said child freeloading and partying?
If child is motivated, responsible, and grateful, then I think parents should do everything reasonable to help with college. If child is, well, childish, then parents are wasting their money; they should save it for their own retirement, or for when child discovers the real world and becomes motivated to get an education--then help.
No they should not feel obligated to pay for their 20 yr old's college expenses but on the other hand if they want to and can afford to then I think it is great.
Parents should want the best for there child and pay for the child expenses. First the parents take care of the child, then the child takes care of the parents.
