[Weaver, Mark]

certainly it's your money, but even though my parents could afford it (dad and stepdad both experienced computer programmers) i managed to put myself through college without using their money, and without taking out student loans, and even managed to buy a house while i was there. there were times when i felt a little crazy for a while (taking 2 abstract math classes plus 2 easy GE classes while working 35 hrs/wk, and racing mountain bikes every weekend), but i always felt like i was in control of my own destiny, and i cherish that independence. plus it gives me some of that self-righteous parental leverage to deny my son money for beer and books while i buy new motorcycle trinkets (hahaha). mw
