My parents made education a priority--so they paid for 4 years of school for me. Books, tuition, living expenses only. Any additional money I needed for fun had to be earned by me, which I did by working some interesting summer jobs. My fifth year of university (I dragged my feet a bit) was paid for by me via student loans. Right now, I'm looking at going back for another year to do my Master's in teaching, and it's looking as if my parents will help me out a bit with that, provided I lay out a budget. I think my father wants me through my Master's as soon as possible so he can help me find a job before he retires.
