advice : THE AGE OF SELF RESPONSIBILITY?

[+] ballot by larrynelmira
created Fri Jul 20, 07

I’ve been working and saving for college all through high school, and together with scholarships , I actually have enough to pay without help from my dad.

I thought he would be happy as can be, but he says no, he has been saving all my life for this very purpose and for me to save my money for the future.

If he were a millionaire I could accept this, but he’s not, he sacrifices for me, so many things he needs and could get with this money, most importantly he wouldn’t have to work so many long hours.

What to do what to do, that is my question?

I don't know what to do
Compromise and split the cost

larrynelmira, you have a wonderful father. You must let him do this, as it 'happifies' him. Say, "Thank you, I love you, Dad."

Maybe you can share the costs between you, and both enjoy the extra left over for yourselves. Maybe plan a trip together next summer for a few weeks.

Continue to be a good son and do the same for your children.

Good luck in college

I agree with Black_Lava. You can still use the scholarships you've picked up to defray the costs, and you've got the money you've saved, which you could keep in the hole for him for later, should he need or want for anything. Parents will always feel obligated to provide for their kids. I think it's subtended in the DNA. You cna do this, and he doesn't really have to know. I know, you hate the thoughts of deceiving him, and I hate the thought of countenancing such. But, IMO, it's a best-of-both-worlds sitch you're in. I know you've made him happy, solely by virtue of being the son you are. Make him a little happier.

YOu know what? Use the money to help you out after u graduate.

good for you larry. here's one suggestion -- split it with him. another? if you have the discipline and it sounds like you do, let him handle it the way he wants to. invest the money you've saved and let it grow. when you're older and established, you can use some toward buying a home for yourself and let the rest build some more. then when your dad least expects it, you can gift him with the rest. if you leave it untouched, that can be a solid amount of money.

^ split it with him being you contribute some and he does too.

by Kev24 on Fri Jul 20, 07 5:10pm [+]

Larry, I think I've told you this before, your Dad wants to see you grow into a son he can be proud of, just like all us Dads want.

But that means we have to finance it too, believe me, don't rock that boat, mate.

Keep hold of your savings, if there's bills which need paying in the future, which he's having trouble paying, tip up then. He'll appreciate that more. :o)

by britvic55 on Fri Jul 20, 07 9:54pm [+]

And from what I've seen here, he has got a son he can be proud of. :o)

Somebody thinks you're worth it. They could well be right.
