I think the average would be somewhere around there with the current generation.

Oh, I guess my parents did pay for my books when I was doing dual-enrollment during high school, and I lived rent-free. Does that count as paying for my education? If so, I'm up to 18.

I mean, I will be the first to admit that I grew up fairly privileged in the financial department.

But that does not equate to growing up in a good household. Some people will never understand that.
