"Even middle-class families are finding medical school hard to pay for"
Why should families be paying for this at all? Shouldn't I be able to fund my own education, especially higher degrees? Most parents don't expect to still be shelling out 10s of thousands of dollars to their 26-year-old offspring. It's insane how normalized these astronomical tuitions have become.
- Scoundreller 8y agoIt often doesn’t make sense to have one generation investing their money and paying taxes on the gains, while another is paying interest to a bank. If they’re going to get excess earnings one day as an inheritance, it may make sense to give while alive. Especially if inheritance taxes may be involved (and who knows what rate they may be in 30 years). Unless that kind of leverage makes sense, and sometimes it does.
