| jaf1991, if 5-10K per year can't be saved with an income of 150K, then maybe the parents should rethink their priorities. I realize that cost of living can vary widely, but in 99% of places you can live quite well on that income (with rare exceptions). I am amazed at the waste in money in so many people's lives. From starbucks to new cars every 4 years and the gamut in between, it makes me sick. I hope that girl's parents have apologized for making bad decisions. Maybe she will be merit aid that is irregardless of income.
in this day and age ignorance about what goes into the EFC is no excuse. The information about it and so much else about FA is out there for the taking. |
