KVJJ Court here, a disagreement.

0:05.0

Who's right, the husband of the wife here?

0:07.0

It's about their son's college fund.

0:09.7

Got this email mail at kVJ show.com. com it says my husband and I started saving for our son's

0:15.7

college when he was a baby we had a small stipend set aside from each of our

0:19.6

paychecks and by the time he turned 18 there was $200,000 ready to send him to almost any school he chose.

As high school graduation approached my son instead chose to get a job. He wanted to repair boats and now I spent the last five years doing just that and making decent money

1:44.6

I mean, I see what both of them are saying, the dad is right, that the college degree doesn't
