I think it would depend on the stipulation they have put in place. If they had said to me, “you will receive a trust fund, but only if you go back to college and get your degree” I would have accepted it. But if the stipulation is that I have to get a very specific type of degree or career that I have no interest in or that I have to marry a certain person I don’t want in order to have access to the money, THEN I would be pissed.

Its their money and they can put any legal conditions on it they wish. Those are the facts. However, achieving a Doctorate requires an aptitude you may not possess. So thats unfair. Maybe insisting you purchase a home or put money aside for your childrens tuition would be more practical..😷

I would feel like its their money so its their rules. Either i agree and comply with their demands if i want it bad enough or i respectfully tell them keep your money and i don't.

It’s their money to do with as they wish and put whatever stipulations on as they wish. They’re not obligated to give me a penny.

Ask them why they think they need to bribe me? if they want to give me a million dollars for something they want it's not worth it. if they want me to be me, fine.

I wouldn't be happy, but I could see that happening. I would seriously hope they were paying for the degree and your expenses.

Oh. You have to work for the money? How sad! It's their money to do with as they please.

I wouldn’t mind.

Get busy studying!

No one... I wouldn't be feeling anyone...

Their money, so I guess I'd have to accept it's up to them.

Off to school I go!

They are allowed to do what they want and besides your in your 30’s you’re supposed to have your own money

It's their money not yours so .....

Their money, their rules eh?

They would’ve never put such stipulations on it, mainly because they have at least one child of whom they’d never require anything beyond drawing breath.
