What HHI for financial aid?

[Anonymous]

Richer please. Instead of an adverb we should adopt this term as a noun to refer to people who are spoiled rotten with money.

This comment makes zero sense.

I get it from a school budget perspective. Full pay families have to subsidize the FA families. Many are also donating on top of that.

We are a full pay family that also donates roughly $5K/year. I have absolutely zero resentment towards FA families, and am happy to help their kids attend the school.

I had no problem with it either, until I became personally aware of the lavish lifestyle many of them have at our school. Luxuries that don’t make sense for a family on financial aid. It just doesn’t make sense for flashy displays of wealth to come from a family on financial aid. However, here we are.

Damn poors not looking poor enough.

If you are claiming poverty, one would expect a modest lifestyle and not complaining about one vacation a year. I think my kids have been on maybe 4 vacations and are now teens. We are more concerned with saving for college and other necessities.

Almost all of the anger here is due to strawmen of the angry people’s own invention.
