How do I warm my parents up to the idea of me going far away for college?

Like I said above, though, they spend money on big material items yet we still live in our house, have electricity/heat, can afford groceries, etc. If you can buy a new car every year and live comfortably, ** I’d assume there is enough money going around to pay for undergrad and grad school.**
