What can the rationale possibly be?

recently got a job and now I’m wondering how that is going to impact my FAFSA. My mom had an AGI of $11,866. She’s a single mother.

I posted when I was in high school I earned my own money for clothes- Both my parents were working but in 1970 dollars they made less than $50,000- which is much MORE than the $ 12,000 you say your mother makes in 2010 dollars.

I would expect that this is the reason why your mother feels that giving money to a charity is something she isn’t comfortable with.

Responsible behavior would be taking over more of your own expenses
