Great, but that was not my question. You said in #98, "After that college is on the student".
I know how state universities work. I answered the question, I paid, I didn't go for free. They told me the cost I agreed and went. I also took a loan to go to private school, I paid it back, no debt forgiveness. Lets keep it that way.
I never said you went for free. I didn't go for free either. I am saying the cost of State colleges and Universities are borne by more than the student.
My daughter did much the same lived frugally, no fancy vacations . Driving a 2014 Ford Fiesta, rehomed/used older cell phone until she just bought a new one, streaming TV buckled down, knocked out her student loans in slightly less than 5 years with some help from us because she was so good at taking my advice and sticking to the amortization sheets I printed out for her, for each additional payment she made we matched it by 50%. Doing very well with an international company who just created a whole department for her to run based on what she already achieved there.
My posts were perfectly clear. It is obvious we aren't going to agree on several points, so once again we can agree to disagree.
We're on the same page, and you should be very proud of your daughter. My son gave close to 17 years of his life serving this country. Guess what? He's going to college free, he earned that right. Sickening to think that people who did nothing somehow feel things are owed to them because they live here. My age is showing. 'LOL'
No they were not. In #98 you posted, "After that college is on the student," but you also wisely took advantage of a State school and you said you knew how State schools operate in #102.
1970's I paid what the state asked. Boy oh boy can I elaborate on how times and the US changed. Sadly my hands are tied here. I once again repeat I didn't go for free! You're playing with words. And I didn't look for a handout to pay off my private school loan. I got a job, worked and paid it off. People today should do the same thing, we'd have a better world.
I never said you went for free. You and I paid tuition, books, etc and were subsidized by tax payers, grants, etc. for State school education.
What part of me saying people should not go to college FREE is unclear to you? It is not about me it is about people today. I paid! I stated examples of how people can go free. We can play this game all day if you like, but I'm getting tired of repeating myself now.
Well, I am asking specifically about you and your thoughts. You posted them.
Start reading from where I quoted @Trav Post in #85, and how I felt about free school after the 12th grade. Later on you asked me about State Universities, I answered. I have a feeling once you start reading from post #85, things will be a lot clearer for you. We might even partially agree.
lol.
You know, I forgot to mention, while her friends were going on spring break, she was working at a local tavern outside of Clemson University.
Like I said you should be proud of her! And proud of how she was raised!!! Outstanding job!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Looks like you did quite well yourself for your son!
The cheap trax looks cheap. Saw one this past weekend. Saw a higher model a few weeks before and that looked good. But the base look base. Just overall lame look
That is why it's cheap?
Name of the game is upsell, though may look beautiful to a person or family that cannot afford more. But the point is, it can be bought at a low price serving an under served market and price point.That is why it's cheap?
I have to wonder if the one you didnt like was an older than 2024 because to me, the 2024's look awesome at any price, not so with earlier models.
This is an example, I just built it on Chevy's website. I mean, what more can we expect for 21K. ? Who else has something that looks better? Accepting the fact that we all have different taste.
