Take two families that are identical. Both have been renting a house and have saved $300k in a savings account. The day before they submit their CSS profile, one family buys a house and moves in with the $300k. Why should they get different institutional (or possibly government) aid? The FA formulas actually favor primary home investors over other types of investments (retirement is also favored). If you are going to complain about being disadvantaged, first make sure that you are disadvantaged.
