Your Question:

How can I possibly afford to send my kids to college?

Answer:

As a pastor and a father, I've seen many families struggle with the financial burden of sending their kids to college. My wife Susan and I have been fortunate enough to have been able to provide for our children's education, but we've also had to make sacrifices along the way. We've learned that it's essential to teach our children the value of hard work and financial responsibility from a young age.

One way we've done this is by having our children do age-appropriate chores and paying them for their work. This has not only taught them the value of earning money but also the importance of contributing to the family. We've also encouraged them to save a portion of their earnings and to think carefully about how they spend their money. By doing so, they've developed a sense of responsibility and a strong work ethic that will serve them well in college and beyond.

As our children have grown older, we've also had to have conversations with them about the cost of college and the importance of making smart financial decisions. We've encouraged them to think carefully about their career choices and to consider the financial implications of their decisions. We've also taught them the value of generosity and the importance of giving back to their community. By doing so, we hope to raise children who are not only financially responsible but also compassionate and wise.
