Our retirement savings are going quickly to educate our grandchildren. We've co-signed for the whole 4 years of one daughters university cost (she worked, had every financing help she could find, we did the rest)
another 9 year old is in accelerated classes which are a joke and we are paying $45 per hour for additional tutoring to teach her better study habits and hoping to find a way to make her an interested not bored student. I wish the schools could work for these kids. They worked for my generation and for my kids and two of my GD have their master degrees with honors - but the lower in the grades you go the worse the instruction is. It is costing us big bucks to try to give these grandchildren a future.
