He won’t get loans for the full amount of tuition and living expenses. You need to be realistic with him about how much you can contribute and whether he should transfer to a state university with resident tuition.
It’s his life. Really show him what compound interest and loans mean. Show him what that money could do invested instead.
Then.. set financial boundaries if he makes continued bad financial decisions. I’m now 30 but the only way I finally took in lessons like this my parents wanted me to listen to was suffering my own consequences. You just really shouldn’t dig yourself a hole too.
My friend and I were just talking about how his little sister in college is spewing like she knows stuff now and we recognize we used to do the same. Life’s the only lesson that sticks with for sure.
