I actually have tried that approach with my dad. He’s saying that it’s not his reluctance to help pay, it’s that he can’t. This is partially true. In the last two years, he’s bought two cars and a house (he bought all of these with no downpayment) and he insists that he really can’t afford to help pay. Hopefully this situation will change in a couple of years as he saves more.
He also says that since I’ll be pursuing medical school, I’ll be graduating with a lot of debt anyways, so I might as well just accrue as much debt as I’ll need.
