Fall break is around the corner — and if you’re a parent of a college student, you already know what’s coming. 😅
The excitement. The hugs. The “can we just run to Target real quick?”
Here’s what I need you to remember: you can love your kid without funding their every request.
Set a limit before they walk through the door. Stick to it. And whatever you do — do not touch your retirement to make their break more comfortable.
Your future self is watching. And she’s counting on you.
💬 Drop a 🐄 in the comments if your college kid has ever turned you into a cash cow without even trying. (You know it happens! 😂)
👉 Save this for every break, every holiday, every “just Venmo me real quick” moment.
