Thank God we were tough in other areas, he saved for a car since he was 12 years old. In the end we decided to help him, but he had no expectation of that. He worked summers and saved all his birthday checks. He had $6800 by his 17th birthday. We’ve always paid for private schools, so he thinks private education is his birthright. He is likely to be a varsity athlete in college so working may be difficult. His sport is spring and fall with training all winter. I just want him to realize most kids and their parents have to make tough choices and he is damn lucky. I am not sure what constitutes an “academic prestiege hound”. We want him to go the best school he can get into.
