My 16 year old brother lives with my family and I. My parents live in Australia and my brother Ash decided he wanted to live here with his big brothers. He’s going to college in 2010 and I told him I would pay for it, and all I ask is for him to try hard. Now do I really have to consult my wife about this? I know my money is her money, but she just stays home with the kids. In your opinion, is it a big deal if I tell my wife or not? Why or why not?
ScSpec, you’re right. But university is outrageously expensive.
I don’t believe in the divided roles. My wife makes a lot of decisions, mostly none with my input. But when it comes to me making a decision, I just wanted to know if it would be important for her to be included. On the other hand, I trust her enough to make decisions without me but I don’t know if she feels the same way I do.
My parents could, but I don’t want to bother them. My other brother and I own a business so we can take care of Ash’s education.
Kd_lifer, you’re hilarious. I wouldn’t mind another sister. I only have one sister plus four brothers. I could use another sister to annoy!
Kate, you’re 100% right. I didn’t give my wife the credit she deserves.. Sorry for that. She’s a great woman. I will discuss this with her when she’s back.
Well my brother and I are splitting it. I might pay for the first 2 years, him the next two. I’m not rich, but I’m financially stable enough to pay for his education without being in debt.
As I read these answers, I’m starting to think my little brother should pay for some of his education. That’s hard though. How can he balance school and work? I couldn’t do it.
