<p>We tried bribing one kid into taking the college offer with a great finaid offer with it. We “offered” a car, and the purchase of a condo in the college town when the kid was a soph or junior. Kid chose the more expensive school.</p>
<p>Bribery never worked with my kids. BUT we did take them out to dinner on the last day of school each year for a job well done. Does that count?</p>
