I really was drawn to this post because it resonated with me for a few reasons. I could never say go head, take part of that money and buy steem, because number one I don't consider myself an expert and you could lose that money and end up regretting it, so in all my comment is not in any way to tell you to or to not use any of your sons college money for steem. But I will say as someone who's parents never even thought of putting aside money for my college, I do strongly believe that kids that have to be creative and work while going to college are way more equipped for life in general, and value the education a huge amount. I worked full time while earning my BA and I will tell you that I thought twice before I ever skipped a class, or skipped an assignment. I did not have time to party or sleep through a midterm, because it was me who was paying every dime. It is just natural to not think of how much things cost when we aren't the ones putting the coins in the pot. So, I think it is absolutely wonderful that you are putting money towards your son's college experience. It is obvious you are a great mom and thinking of your son's future. But I just wanted to tell you not to feel so bad if ever you do have to use some of that money. When people have to work at things, brilliant things come about. It is just one of those rules in life :) Anyways, I enjoyed this post and it touched me! I am going to follow you and look forward to more of your posts!
