I don't understand why employer contributions to a retirement plan should be considered income, no money in the retirement plan is part of fafsa.

I don't understand why every penny (albeit pretax income) I put into retirement is added back into the income for fafsa (would make sense to add in the amount of tax savings I realized on that income put into retirement).

I completely agree there are a lot of what the hecks when it comes to financial aid.

I just really want to know the reason for the asset protection difference for single and married parents. even 50% makes more sense than 40%.

Not logical, does not compute!
