I almost fainted the first time I got a REFUND with my son in college. For 14 years I paid monthly into a prepaid college tuition program. Son also got a partial scholarship. And my work pays half his tuition. I get a refund every single semester.

I was worried I would never be able to afford to send him by myself with no help. So my sacrifice of paying it ahead of time, and it was hard to do financially, has turned into such a blessing. I cried and cried when I got that first check back. Some of that money has funded my
vaping hoard, which makes me cringe a little bit as I know the sacrifices I’ve made for my son. So for it to go to my nicotine addiction...ugh. It’s all good though.
