Yes, it would have been nice to have all the money we spent on the kids’ college educations so we could have put it toward perhaps a housing account so they can have a place to live, but we don’t begrudge them the educations they obtained that has allowed S to get a job he’s happy with and is able to save a significant sum at. We’re hoping D will also be able to land a good job (or any job that she’s happy and helps pay bills).

If S keeps his job for two or more years, it will be significantly more than our share of his college expenses, so that seems like a better investment than we could have made pretty much anywhere, so we’re happy.

Since D is in a creative field, the future is somewhat less certain, as we do not have experience in that area at all. We’re happy she’s getting a degree in something she loves and hope good things will continue to happen for her as she moves out of the university environment.
