It was all baby steps. They didn't pay for all of it at one time and they aren't at minimum wage jobs now. In fact, the older one made more than I did last year. I asked him why I was working to pay for his tuition.
But they have learned self-control and budgeting. They shop sales and use coupons. They know the value of hard work, and the value of $1. I have heard them say,"That's a week's pay! I don't want it that bad."
But it was baby steps!
