lol at the Penn State apartment.
I get where they are coming from too. If they had spent their entire adult life saving for this I could understand being angry. That's not what happened though. There is no 'I worked my whole life so my kids could go to college' story or anything. For most of my life they said they would be able to pay for community college at best, then we became loaded and now they are just like 'never mind, have at it'.
A side note that might explain some of my overall philosophy: I get that I look stupid saying some of this stuff, and a lot of people (read: UGers :p )are convinced that I'm consumed with guilt and I hate my parents, both of which are false. I just think the respectable wealthy people are those who don't take whatever they want just because they can. I think taking this route will make me more independent and set a better example. That's it in the simplest terms.
