I guess in my experience I feel that kids who get their school paid for are...to put it bluntly...kind of spoiled and selfish. My boyfriend pretty much had his entire school paid for and he has absolutely no idea how to budget at all. He has no financial sense what so ever and, sometimes, its like teaching a 5 yr old about money. It gets a little ridiculous.

And I also feel like those kids just aren't very appreciative. Most of the kids I've met who get their school paid for also have a false sense of entitlement. Like they would disown their parents if they "cut them off". That just makes me so freakin' mad!

IMO, I feel like parents paying for their kids school makes them completely unaware of finances, what it's like to be in debt and lets them walk through the first 20-25 years of their life without really having DONE anything. At least I can say I worked for what I have y'know? Everything in my house and in my life is MINE. I paid for my school and I made the absolute most out of it. I feel like I'm much more careful with my education and money than the people I know who don't pay for it.
