Here's the full story in u/EcstaticMatch1971's own words:

"My grandparents give each of their grandkids enough to buy a house when we graduate from college. We have to get through college on our own. My older brother made it through with some debt, so he paid that off and still had enough for a 50% down payment and money in the bank for emergencies."

"I was lucky enough to qualify for a scholarship as well as a bursary through my father's employer. When I graduated, I bought a small house close to public transportation so I could take the train to work."
