I have a cousin that has a cabin outside Colorado Springs. I can't imagine it's worth 300K.

I'm skipping the RV phase. It's just not happening. I even have a diesel pickup. There's just a culture there I'm not into.

I don't even like camping much... never did it in KC because it was either just camping or camping plus lake things, which wasn't my thing.

While I appreciate the whole 'off the grid' thing, I do it here for the ATV rides... and even then, after a couple days of 6+ hour rides, I'm good.

My parents had 4 kids. We lived poorly and didn't have much as compared to all my friends who's dad's worked at TWA.

But when college age came, they paid for every single one of us to go to college. It was all about that. Brother to Rolla. Sister to CMSU, me and other brother to NWMSU.
Spending money was on us though.

We have a tier system with our kids. They pay 75% their freshman year, 50% sophomore, 25% junior and we cover their senior year. Any additional years are on them.

We felt like it was important for them to have skin in the game especially early on. They both have partial scholarships and this setup keeps them motivated to maintain those.

Thanks guys... Wife and I are lucky to have good jobs and we keep telling our kids we will pay for their undergrad as long as they stay out of trouble and pass all their classes.

I put in my stone yard when my daughter was two just to fund her college education. It's worked out perfectly. She got the first two years of her college paid by the state of Texas by qualifying for quest , basically having good grades and attendance in high school.

She heads for a dorm in August at West Texas A&M for the 2nd semester of her now Junior year. The rock yard is a casual business I only have to go onsite by call. It's actually funding her college and my fishing .

The one thing I know I'm doing wrong is not pushing her to help out by getting a job but my agreement with her was that if she made good grades and applied herself I would take care of it. She's definitely lived up to her end of the bargain so I really can't complain.

She's 21 and had to have a mass removed from her breast yesterday. When they gave her the anesthesia to put her under her throat closed off and she quit breathing . It was a rough day. She didn't deserve all that.

Yikes man. In my thoughts.

I sure hope things are better now. Prayers sent.

So they got her all fixed up though, right?

Yeah, she's all good. Thanks everybody . The cyst they took out is expected to be benign. It's just not good when they tell you she actually quit breathing.

Do you think crypto will be long term investment one day? Nowadays it's just a crazy roller coaster! I don't know if its just a fad or if it’s here to stay.
