Chapter 1: What should I tell my parents about college decisions?
So I figured I would go there, and I could transfer to a state school where it's a 100% acceptance rate out of the community college I wanted to go to. And my parents were very against this idea. They wanted me to go play a sport in college and go to a private university. They told me that doesn't matter. I just wanted to make sure I was making the right decision because they don't agree with it.
Are they paying for it? No, they're not paying for it.
Yeah, they don't get a vote then.
I brought that up, but they said they're going to be kicking me out. They also pay for housing. They also take the car and my phone away.
I mean, if they want to throw a grown-up temper tantrum, that's like the most babiest thing I've ever... Wait, yeah, I want to know more why.
That's so... That feels very extreme. Like it's one thing if your parents kind of like turn their nose up at community college because they're very educated. New England's like, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's like, oh my gosh, can't believe you're going to go to community college.
But to kick you out and take your car and your phone, I mean, that's a... Or if they said... Is there a religious element to this? Like to go to a Catholic school? I don't know. Or like any level of like a religion conviction there?
No, I don't really understand why they just said it would look bad on resumes. And I think I'm making the wrong decision. They said I was being pretty rude about it. So I think that's why.
Well, if I have no problem with the parents saying, Hey, as for me and my house, you're going to this school and we're paying for it. And if you want to go somewhere else, you're on your own. I have no problem with that at all. That happens all the time. And if they say, Hey, in this house, we go to Harvard. And so we've created this fund and you're going to Harvard.

So I'm an 18 year old and I'm a senior in high school this year and I wanted pretty much advice on what to tell my parents about college. I've been watching you guys for a while now, and I know the biggest thing was don't go into debt, don't take out loans if you can, try and cash flow it. So I figured I would want to go to a cheaper school. I was in Massachusetts, so community college is free.
