Although my husband wanted me to say we couldn’t afford anything, I was very straightforward about what we could afford (and “afford” means old cars, old falling-apart house not getting attention, no vacations, etc.). The amount of aid we receive corresponds closely to the amount I said we needed, but the school has all our financial information and thus knows that I gave an accurate, perhaps even generous, estimate. I doubt that what you say you can afford matters much except as it corresponds to the numbers.
