A reader asked: “My younger sister has decided to attend an expensive private college. This surprised me: She was accepted at prestigious state schools with scholarships, which would be more affordable for our parents, who are footing the bill. When my brother and I went to college several years ago, such an expensive school would have been out of the question. We also had to take out small loans, which my parents are not asking our sister to do. Their financial situation hasn’t changed, and I feel frustrated. I had to select a college based on price and take out loans; she doesn’t have to do either. Should I raise this with my parents? They are kind and generous people, and I don’t want to seem ungrateful. But I am still paying off the loans.”

In Opinion "It’s not just that I worry that there are fewer opportunities today, whether through college or work, for the million-plus kids out there with no high school diploma or GED (and that the Pell Grants that made it possible for me to go to college and once covered more than three-quarters of the cost of attending a four-year public college now cover roughly 30 percent). I worry that there are fewer adults willing to take those all-important chances on those of us the world today seems to have so little time and attention for. College is hard. And expensive. And what university wants to accept a kid like me who might bring down its all-important rankings?" Rachel Louise Snyder writes in her essay, "Notes From a Formerly Unpromising Young Person."

A reader asked: “I strongly suspect that my husband is developing dementia. Our fighting has stopped, but it’s a lonely place to be. I’m not thrilled about spending my retirement years as a caregiver. It’s a huge sacrifice that will narrow my own life significantly. Do we both need to go down with the ship? Can I leave now (and let his family deal with this)? Or am I obligated to stay and care for him?”
