[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Send the kid to community college. Mine is going there. No essays, not even doing the FAFSA. 
No way am I paying $30-$40k for year 1 and 2.
CC is so cheap that the kid can work and pay for it and I will help. 
You were two FEds? My ex never worked a day in his life and I was a server. I invested $400 a week since 2007 and it has done well in the market. Doesn't mean I will waste it on college. 
Your $400 a week invested is somewhere in your house, in retirement account, or investment account. Mine is in 529, Roth, and regular investment account. Very easy to get it out.[/quote]
dp.. as a single low income earner, your kid can get FA.  Dual income earners who get laid off right now aren't going to get any FA for the first two years because they look at tax returns from the previous year.

Also, college isn't a waste.  I grew up lower income, and college was my ticket out. Sounds like your kid needs to do the same.

But, I do agree with the CC route if you can't afford college. My sibling did that.[/quote]
