<p>i mean we have some savings, but not nearly enough to pay 50k. my parents didnt expect to have to pay that much, since few people ever do for college. They used their money for other reasons such as helping out the rest of our family, who is considerably worse off than we are, instead of hording all of it for me. And no, my parents havent made that much money for that long. 10 years MAX. idk, i guess thats still too much and we are still too “rich.” The point is, we simply cant afford what they are expecting, because there just are not enough funds. Not that my parents dont want to pull from any assets etc, but there literally isn’t much to pull from. They are retiring soon, so the last thing they should do is something like pull out a second on the house, considering they wont have incomes soon, and wont be able to pay it back. </p>
<p>basically we are just going to keep calling until we at least get something to work with.</p>
