Got one raised!

[Rzrbck918]

One down, two to go...my oldest daughter just got her first “career”job! She is now self sufficient. Graduated college in May debt free with a Bachelors degree and starts her first job in two weeks.

congrats!!

 

[elkduds]

Many families have a hard time pulling that off, seems it is tougher now than it was back in the day. Good for her and good for your family. Celebration is in order.

 

[homers]

congrats on getting her off your payroll

 

[LopeHunter]

Woo hoo, congrats. Empty-nester here and all are successful, now married to spouses with careers as well plus two grandkids each. I have some buddies where one or more of the offsprings are done with high school yet failing to properly launch from the nest. Not as easy to launch perhaps as back in my day though I really do not know. Is a great feeling knowing your kid not only can offer to pick up the tab at a restaurant but is also able to without any significant impact on their budget. I never was a mooch though is satisfying being told to stop pulling out my wallet as my money is no longer good when at dinner or on a trip with one of the offspring.

This is what it is all about. Congratulations to your daughter as well as to yourself and your wife. This didn't just happen, it took years of guidance, support, and love from you and your wife, as well as hard work and determination from your daughter. Very happy for you, your wife and daughter

Had my oldest daughter do the same this year. Graduated and has a radiology position. Now I don't have to pay her car insurance or phone bill! I'm on the hook for an impending wedding though. mtmuley

What field?

Human Resources. She went to school in Arkansas and got a job back here in Tulsa working in HR at a hospital. Good deal for her as they will pay for grad school.

 

[kansasdad]

Congratulations to all. Sure have fond feelings for Tulsa (8 years undergrad and grad school at ORU).

I hope she has a solid foundation in budgeting, and can start salting away some early savings instead of falling into the "get it now" mentality of so many "kids" these days.

 

[WildWill]

Congratulations to your daughter and good job dad. My daughter will be 3 in October so my works just begun.

Graduated college in May debt free

Huge deal, I cannot overstate how impressive and important this is, congrats.

 

[JEL]

Congrats to her and your family! I have 3 boys and the youngest is down to his last year of college. They all did it debt free as well and the two older ones are employed in their field in jobs they love. It's a great feeling. Enjoy!

 

[TheBenHoyle]

great job!

 

[Zach]

Congrats, my oldest graduated last year also debt free. She has a full time job(since graduation) and moved out a few months ago.
#2 is a HS Senior this year, still looking at colleges and what the plans are post HS graduation.

1 down, 3 to go.
