Dear parents,

There are cheaper schools out there. They give full academic scholarships to even the richest kids. The quality of one's education is what one makes of it, and working to pay off your own college costs makes one party less and appreciate the classes more. You shouldn't drop your life savings on their "dream school" any more than you should buy them their brand-new "dream car" the day they turn 16. In-residence state schools FTW. IMHO. YMMV.

Love and Kisses,
