We’re 75 With $3.2 Million. Our Grandchild Needs Help Paying for College, but It’s Not Our Fault She Picked a School That’s $90k a Year!

Question: We’re 75-year-old retirees with $3.2 million. Our son’s pressuring us to help pay for our granddaughter’s college so she can avoid loans. It’s not our fault she picked a school that’s $90k a year! What should we do?
Answer: It’s hardly a secret that obtaining a college degree is an expensive prospect.
The average cost of college today is $38,270 per student per year, which includes books, supplies, and living expenses, according to the Education Data Initiative. The average borrower with federal student loans today owes $39,547. Moreover, the full annual cost of attending a top school can, shockingly, top $90,000. It’s understandable that your grandchild wants to avoid graduating with burdensome debt.

If you’re well-off retirees, you may be asked to help cover your grandkids’ education costs so they don’t graduate with debt. But if you have a granddaughter who’s chosen a school with a $90,000-a-year price tag, that ask may not be reasonable, even if you have a $3.2 million nest egg to fall back on.
Here’s how to handle what could be a tricky situation without hurting your loved ones or putting your own retirement at risk.
You need to be comfortable helping out financially
As grandparents, it’s natural to want to help your granddaughter out. But even with a generous nest egg, you may not feel ready to start writing large checks just yet.
Mike McCracken, president and founder of Wealth Guide Financial, says, “Having $3.2 million at age 75 is a great position, but that doesn’t mean you should automatically write a big check for a $90,000-a-year school tuition.”
McCracken says that before you hand out so much as a dollar, ask yourself whether helping out with college will leave you with enough money to live comfortably for the rest of your lives without the risk of running out of money. Keep in mind that you may have extra costs to contend with, from home repairs to medical bills to long-term care. So the numbers need to work for you.
Brett Bernstein, CFP, CEO and Co-Founder of XML Financial Group, agrees.
“The first thing the grandparents need to do is build a financial plan to ensure that they can maintain their current lifestyle and see how much they can financially help their grandchildren,” he says. “Once they have an understanding of the actual number they can contribute, then they have to decide how much of that they want to gift.”
Make sure you’re treating your heirs fairly
It’s one thing to help fund your granddaughter’s college education if she’s your only grandchild. If not, you risk running into problems if you start cutting her large checks without mapping out a plan.
McCracken says the cleanest way to go about things is to document everything meticulously.
“Have your estate-planning attorney draft a simple amendment to your revocable living trust stating that the amount you paid for college will be subtracted from your child’s or grandchild’s eventual inheritance,” he suggests, assuming you have that legal document in place. If not, put something in place before distributing a portion of your assets.
Another option, McCracken says, is to treat the money as an interest-only loan that your granddaughter or their parents will repay.
“This keeps everything transparent, protects the other children’s share, and prevents anyone from being taken advantage of,” he says.
“Giving directly to your grandchildren could reduce their financial aid eligibility.”
Be as tax-efficient as possible with your giving
Unfortunately, there’s no easy way to enjoy a tax break in the course of gifting a grandchild money for college. Contributions to a 529 plan may grow tax-free, but you don’t get to deduct the sum you put in.
Still, it’s important to be mindful of tax implications. To that end, McCracken says that if you’re going to help, paying tuition directly to the school is usually the most tax-efficient route. This way, it doesn’t count against your annual gift tax exclusion.
McCracken also warns that giving directly to your grandchildren could reduce their financial aid eligibility.
Bernstein agrees that paying tuition directly is generally the best option, and that eking out tax savings is unlikely.
“The only way for a grandparent to get some benefit is if the school is willing to accept a highly appreciated asset in return for the tuition, or if the school is a qualified charity and the grandparent can [send] part or all of the required minimum distribution directly to the school,” he explains.
However, Bernstein says, these strategies typically don’t work, so “this comes down to what the grandparent can ultimately afford to gift and their willingness to do so.”
Aside from genuinely wanting to help your granddaughter, you may be feeling immense pressure to contribute toward her education. That’s why McCracken supports having an honest family conversation and setting clear boundaries up front.
“You can say something like, ‘We love you and want to help, but we also must protect our own retirement and want to keep our inheritance planning even among the heirs,'” he suggests.
From there, explain how you’re willing to structure the assistance if you feel comfortable chipping in.
“Helping the next generation is one of the most rewarding things you can do,” says McCracken. “But it should never come at the cost of your own financial peace of mind.”
Twitch star calls out Mr. Beast over “most uncomfortable” livestream ever
In April 2025, YouTube celebrity Jimmy “MrBeast” Donaldson held his first-ever Kick livestream to raise $5 million for a philanthropic campaign aiming to bring clean water to millions of people. The cause was a noble one, but the event had a gimmick: the stream would not end until Donaldson was able to attain the full amount of money. Nearly a year later, one Twitch streamer who was pulled into the stunt is deriding it.
According to Twitch Tracker as of April 2026 Jynxzi — known for Rainbow Six Siege— has the second-most active subscribers on Twitch, narrowly trailing first place. Though Jynxzi participated in Donaldson’s event eight months ago, he commented on the affair in response to a recent YouTube video about him.
For those who missed it, Donaldson’s live stream saw him teaming up with popular live streamers Adin Ross and XQC. To promote the fundraiser, Donaldson and company put together a “punishment board” that the group would enact whenever the live stream reached a milestone. These punishments included things like getting covered in snakes, being waxed on camera, and oil-wrestling against a strong opponent. Though viewers could donate small amounts of cash, the group also relied on affluent people like billionaire Ken Griffin, who donated $2.25 million to the cause.
Donaldson also employed pressure to get the money. At one point during the event, the YouTuber pulled out a list of people who said they would donate but had not done so yet, such as rapper Young Thug and an NFL player identified only as “TJ.” Donaldson ramped up his efforts by calling people in hopes they would donate.
One of those people included Jynxzi, who was tapped in a five-way call that also included infamous YouTube personality Logan Paul. During this call, Paul expressed skepticism that Jynxzi would be able to donate a million dollars for charity.
“Not to be a dick .. out of this particular group of people, bro, you’ve got the least liquidity!” Paul declared, before asserting that he believed Jynxzi only donated a few thousand dollars, if that. Donaldson and XQC then both goad Paul, imploring him to match whatever amount Jynxzi gave. Paul agreed, then looked stunned when Jynxzi revealed he had donated $100,000. The group pushed Paul to keep his promise, however.
Eight months later, Jynxzi commented on the experience in a livestream, where he called it “one of the most uncomfortable, weird streams of all time, bro.” The Twitch star noted that the Kick group was overly aggressive. Beyond taking umbrage with the fundraising tactic, Jynxzi also bemoaned that anyone who donated would have their credit taken by Donaldson, who would receive most of the recognition for the achievement.
For some viewers, Jynxzi’s appraisal of who gets patted on the back here has been deemed problematic. But Jynxzi is not alone in feeling unhappy with the proceedings. Eight months ago, Fortnite streamer Nick Eh also expressed disapproval of Donaldson’s pressure on other creators. More recently, XQC himself also told viewers that he wasn’t comfortable with the way Donaldson handled the live stream. XQC claimed that he told Donaldson, both in private and during the live stream, that the methods were “too much” and “not okay.”
The blonde streamer stated that Donaldson didn’t just encourage people to donate, but apparently pestered people over and over again. Employing this tactic in front of live viewers, XQC argued, was a failure on Donaldson’s part to “read the room” appropriately. Donaldson’s co-stars were visibly uncomfortable during segments when he kept pushing people who weren’t receptive.
“We’re all donating, he’s getting all the credit, we’re all getting pressured into donating in front of hundreds of thousands of people,” Jynxzi said. “At the end of the day, it goes to a good cause, so I don’t really care.”

Status report
Neither team held a morning skate. … Avalanche coach Jared Bednar said Friday that he spoke with his players, his training staff, and his medical team about resting players throughout the final four games of the season; if players want to play, he said he’s willing to let them, but he also wants to rest others before the start of the Stanley Cup Playoffs.
