Wow. I'll have to just echo most of the responses here - by no means do i think anyone is entitled to money from their parents for education, wedding, or anything else. I am really dismayed by the expectation that if they were less ignrrant the LW would have more. Wow. Seems the couple go well together in that they both view entitlement the same. I have a mountain of debt - not as much as you I'm sure, but I'm not a doctor-to-be either. It happens, and it was my decision - ever last borrowed dollar. I used to seethe at the "rich" kids in college who knew nothing of my sorrowful fate - sheesh, what a bunch o' baloney. Me, my life, my choices - no regrets.
