I gotta admit I find this incredibly annoying. Parents in FB groups whining about their EFCs, then in subsequent posts mentioning that they have "good incomes" and later indicating that they have high monthly expenses that are not mortgage, health, sandwich generation obligations. If you choose to carry two auto payments every month, that is a decision you make and I would not want the college to underwrite your choices. If you didn't have a conversation with your DC on the range of schools you can afford and their top 3 choices are all schools that do not provide merit, then that is on you. Senior year isn't the time to level with your kid and/or rail against the machine. [/quote]
