[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 307298, member: 84"] Sounds like he's figuring it out bit by bit. That's not a bad thing. Took Travis 3 yrs to finally get it right. Travis asked us to sign something........heck I'm not even sure what it was now.....and we wouldn't. Took a heck of alot of convincing to get me to apply for that parental loan thing.......that I knew we'd get turned down for, just because we might [B][I]not[/I][/B] have been turned down for it. But I relented only because it was the only way for the kid to get more funds out of FASFA. Evidently our govt believes that parents are responsible for putting their grown kids thru college. Let's see........I have no say whatsoever in any other aspect of the kid's life, but you expect me to foot a bill that I could use to possibly buy a house to send the kid to college??? Uh, no. Don't think so. I think I've spent too many years in my life being dirt poor. lol If he wants it bad enough........he'll figure out a way to make it happen. Once he figures out how to make it happen, after doing all that work, he's more likely to see it thru to the end. That's my philosophy and I'm sticking to it. :D [/QUOTE]
