<p>I have long wondered if LB is a ■■■■■ – especially if you look at all his posts, not just the ones on this thread. He insists on calling himself low income despite his $120,000 salary (and now we learn, $150,000 bank account); upset at his daughter’s poor score of 222 on the PSAT; believes he will “lose face” in his Asian community if she doesn’t go to a top-ranked university; thinks the only professions are “scientist, lawyer, doctor and banker.” I’ve decided that even if he is a ■■■■■, then perhaps in our responses we are educating some parent who may believe the things he purports to believe.</p>
<p>I knew that folks knowledgeable about financial aid would contribute here when I saw his comments; I learned more about financial aid from reading what you all said. I now feel that I have more data to argue against the “spending” vs “saving” philosophy, which I instinctually knew was wrong. ■■■■■ or no ■■■■■, it’s been educational.</p>
