*So far, both of my parents (custodial and non) have no clue how much they would contribute. *

I imagine that because there are two of you (twins), your parents are thinking…hmmm…whatever we budget for one, we’ll have to budget for the other.

I don’t know how your parents live, but if they don’t have much left over each month, they may fear that they don’t have much or anything to contribute.

You and your twin need to have this discussion. If they are avoiding the issue, that can be a sign that they can’t contribute much or are afraid to give a number and then not be able to “follow thru.” But, whatever the situation is, you need to know ASAP. So, you and your twin need to talk to each of your parents.

Good luck!
