Your Question:
How do I tell my kids their dad won't be able to pay for college?
Answer:
The conversation I'm about to have with Joshua and Rebecca is not one I'm looking forward to. As a pastor, I've had to have tough conversations with people before, but this one is personal. I've been putting off talking to them about college because I know it's a sensitive topic. I've been working hard to provide for them, but I'm not sure if I'll be able to afford to pay for their college education. As I prepare to have this conversation with my kids, I'm reminded of the importance of being honest and transparent with them. I've always tried to be a good role model and teach them the value of hard work and responsibility. I've also made sure to dream and plan with them, so they know that I'm invested in their future. However, I know that this conversation may make them feel like I'm not prioritizing their needs. When I sit down with Joshua and Rebecca, I'll need to be clear and direct about our financial situation. I'll explain that while I want to support them in their education, I may not be able to pay for it all. I'll encourage them to explore other options, such as scholarships and student loans, and to take responsibility for their own financial decisions. I'll also remind them that I'm committed to supporting them in any way I can, even if it's not financially.
