<p>For the people who don’t see how someone whose parents make 150k a year can’t afford school, read this.</p>
<p>My parents make about 140k a year before taxes, depending on their bonuses. After taxes we maybe get 90k. Then come house payments. And car payments. Our house payment is about 2k a month, so that’s 24k right there. That leaves 66k a year for us, and that has to include gas, car payments (which are another 1k a month), food, heat, electricity, water… It goes fast. I’m lucky my parents have saved up about 80k since my sister and I were born. But that has to last for both of us throughout college. If my parents scrimp a bit they can afford another 5k out of pocket a year, so unless I get mad scholarships they can only pay 15k a year and that will go down when my sister goes to college in three years. </p>
<p>My dad is going to have to stop blowing money on goose decoys. :/</p>
