Woman Refuses to Contribute to Parents' Retirement Since They Did Not Lend Even a Dime for Her Education: 'I did everything on my own'

Welcome, gossiping girls and gals. Paying for higher education is no easy task - especially in the US, where there is no cap on the price of universities, so fees for a four year degree can easily reach over $100,000 without financial aid. Some parents are willing to put any amount of money down if it means furthering their child's prospects of landing a good job later in life, and some even began preparing for high university costs by establishing a college fund as soon as their child was born. Other parents do not help at all - be it because they do not value education, do not make enough money to lend a hand, or want their child to become independent by paying for themselves. This is fine; every family has different values, limitations, and boundaries, but if you do not financially aid your child as a young adult, you cannot expect them to help you when you come crawling to them when you're strapped for cash. 
In our story today, our protagonist did not receive a dime from her parents after she turned 18, yet they attempted to guilt her in to contributing to their retirement fund. Scroll down to read her reaction and how the whole thing played out.
