[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am starting to feel like most financial aid is actually a disservice.  It encourages families who cannot truly afford the luxury of private school to spend whatever they can set aside, instead of saving for college, retirement and paying off their mortgage.  Because they have not saved for college, the cycle repeats with these families expecting taxpayers, full pay families and endowments to fund most college expenses.  Undoubtedly, their children will still end up with large student loans AND parents who are unprepared for retirement.  Why should private schools promote this irresponsible path? And guilt trip other parents who don't support it?  We just have a really warped view of needs vs. wants in our society.[/quote]

Do you not have a clue as to how you sound??? Yes, you rich people really do know what's better for us poor people on FA - silly me! I had no idea that rich people know better than I do as to what's best for my son and family.[/quote]

Of course families want "the best" for their children.  The point is that you 1) can't afford it; 2) are putting your responsibilities off on other people, and 3) it has long-term consequences...[/quote]
