Me too. Am Gen x in 40s. They paid for my $100k college education and I'm eternally grateful, and forever indebted.
Nothing is free. Unless you're a low life, you will always feel indebted to them and make up for it through other means.

Starting grade 10 I started working, I paid my phone bill, transportation and most other expenses (except of course food and room)
I have worked my way through university, bought a car, and will graduate with $20k in student loans that will vanish once I get my sign-on bonus in two months while making more that 2x of my whole household combined. It's very much possible to move up the social ladder in my eyes.
Am I a low life? What should I feel indebted about.
I'm grateful for their support of my life path, but most people don't have the privilege of living cozy lives.
