One of the most brilliant bits of family policy I've ever heard was enacted by a friend of mine, who has children and plenty o'money. He strongly suggested his kids get a college degree but of course by that time they were adults. He would not help them through college......they would have to handle that on their own. At the end, with degree in hand, they could come to him for a lump-sum reimbursement of ALL their expenses. They had to keep receipts, and present him an itemized bill. But EVERY expense (tuition, books, rent, food, beer....everything) would be reimbursed, upon graduation.
Schumi..........I am jealous. I want the experience you are having. Nice going on the ticket thing.
