My parents did the same for me--well, not the card bit, but I got a full ride.
Totally worth every dime, IMO.

I was speaking more about those of us who’s parents could not afford to pay or help with our college and who graduated in debt but also in a position to use that degree to pursue professional endeavors that will allow us to pay for our kids education in 14+ years. Paying for community college through hard work isn’t too difficult. 5 years of architecture school is.
That being said I need a Green Cobb to complete my T206 HOF portrait run. If the right one pops up I’ll buy on credit and pay it off when I pay myself at years end.
