More like a tiny drop of your rain landed in a big bucket, a bucket we also contribute to. It’s not like anyone asked you to bust out the checkbook.

It’s great you were able to afford to do so. Unfortunately while I was able to get my college mostly covered in grants and paid the rest myself, I’m not able to afford to contribute much to my daughter. I’m a single dad, the only contributing parent, with a 2023 mortgage interest rate. My income looks good on paper but teenage girls are expensive, homes are expensive, groceries are expensive. Even if she got a 50% ride I wouldn’t be able to cover the rest without loans because most of my income goes towards necessities and the roof over our heads.

But yeah, you were also the one who said you pay over 50% of taxes. So while your own high income is the result of your hard work, not everyone has or gets that chance. You worked really hard, and your daughters benefited. That’s great. I’m just saying all our daughters deserve a chance.
