[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some schools merit scholarships still require FAFSA be completed.  Got an even higher number when we did ours.  Kid chose a different school with no merit.  Never filling out a FAFSA again (unless the younger one is in the same position).  [/quote]
+1  I told DC go in state.  We get zilch.  Our EFC was something really high, too, not as high as OP's though.

I'm not paying $70k per year. We are UMC but we are trying to save fore retirement and another DC's college fund.  College costs are insane.[/quote]

Same here. DH and I both graduated from Va public universities in the late 80’s/early 90’s when tuition, fees, and room & board totaled around $10K/year. Now, those same schools are closer to $30k-$40k. We told our kids that VA has a lot of public options and if they want private or OOS, they will need loans.

Cheapskate. [/quote]

I am cheap, but also very smart.

Paying more for something doesn’t make it any better.

+1  Unless you won't miss the money, the ROI on those expensive degrees don't justify the cost.    Stupid move.[/quote]

I cringe everytime I see someone evaluating college as an ROI proposition.[/quote]
And I cringe when I see how some privileged people think everyone can afford $70k/yr tuition.

You know nothing of my background,  and  you live in a bubble.[/quote]

You shouldn’t consider ROI— that statement is the equivalent of “let them eat cake.” Telling us ridiculous proletariat folks that we should just study philosophy and literature and not worry about how we are going to pay the bills. No one thinks that. I work at a university and we have long conversations about ROI. [/quote]
