[quote=Anonymous]Not in the million dollar range, but my stepmother was a lawyer and refused to contribute to my college tuition. I was not eligible for aid senior year because of her inciome. She and my father kept separate accounts and divorced the summer after I graduated. I had to take on a mountain of private loans to cover senior year. Fortunately, she hadn't been working much my first three years of college and only had a full salary senior year, so I was eligible for some aid the first three years. My husband, who came from a working class background had much lower debt upon graduation than I, the child of two professionals. It is difficult to have the income of step parents taken into account. I have one child. I will teach them about responsibility, but will pay. They should have a much lower debt when trying to launch their life.[/quote]
