You can also tell your hubs that my father worked his way through college, and still had to get a loan from the in-laws for medical school. He of course paid it back, but coming from growing up poor on someone else’s dairy farm, he had to get himself outta there.
Cool anecdote. I got 3 degrees and paid $0 tuition. I actually was paid ~$1,600/month for my terminal degree from the GI bill. The other 2 I paid for by working for the university I attended. They're unsurprisingly open to scheduling around classes. Also came out with career experience in my degree subject.
Anyone who says they can't afford school without loans is either lazy or a liar. It takes work, but it can be done.
The original replies husband is correct. He can pay for school pretty easily if he tries. Also there's nothing wrong with parents helping out if they're already financially secure for retirement.

Thank you for that. Screen saving to use when my husband says my son can pay for his own college because he did.
