Daughter refuses to give up college fund to bail her parents out of debt due to careless overspending and failed investments: ‘I wasn’t going to throw away my future’

Student debt is a right of passage for most folks who attend college. The government allows freshly-18-year-olds to sign away their future to big loan companies so they can profit off of their naiveté… That's just showbiz, baby! If you're one of the lucky few who graduated debt-free for any number of reasons, count your blessings. For borrowers, student debt becomes their best friend for about 10 years after they graduate from university, and sometimes more if they're borrowing privately.

The daughter in this next story didn't have to worry about all of the financials since her grandparents set up a college fund for her. However, her parents have been trying to play for keeps on it ever since they've landed themselves in a good amount of debt due to their own carelessness. The daughter shouldn't suffer for her parents' missteps, and she knows this. So, she refuses her parents' inquiry regarding her college fund… and naturally, this rejection doesn't go over well with them. Scroll to read.

The daughter knows that her parents' debt is not her problem, yet like any normal person, has her doubts about her decision to reject her parents' pleas for help. It's either her or them, and her grandparents gave her this money to spend on a valuable education, not on her parents' financial slip-ups. Not everyone is so lucky to have access to a fund that'll take care of the cost of schooling, and the daughter refuses to take on massive amounts of debt for herself just to save her parents' behinds.
