My dad let me graduate with $38,000 in student debt even though he had the money to pay it off.
When I got into college, my dad told me:
“You’re responsible for your tuition.”
I begged him to help.
He refused.
So I worked two jobs.
I took out loans.
I graduated owing $38,000.
I hated watching my friends graduate without debt while I was already calculating how many years it would take me to pay mine off.
Three days after graduation, my dad asked me to come over.
He handed me a check.
$38,000.
