You did nothing wrong especially to your children. Lots of kids made it through college without mom and dad's help. In today's world I would look at a couple of things in terms of college. First is how is my degree going to help in terms of a good paying job. If it can't then they best look at something else. Second, prestigious schools are nice but there are affordable legitimate schools that carry good reputations with employers. Don't be loaded up with debt. You did what you could do in terms of a pleasant loving upbringing for your kids and that is most important. The kids will be fine but be honest and frank when they ask about staying close to home. As others have stated those that appear to be rich may not have it all when a person is able to look at the situation closely. Right now there is a son of a farmer who works with his dad that on the outside everything looks rosey. All new equipment and lots of acres. As of late the younger farmer has made the statement that he will most likely down size when the father passes. As much as it is known this fellow would like to farm every last acre they currently have it will not be possible when the father passes. The financial situation is not terrible but there simply is not enough life insurance to cover everything plus it is unlikely the son will be able to borrow enough to keep everything. The son expresses it as wanting to not work as hard but those close to the family know different and that the son is having trouble coming to grips with what the future holds.
