[quote=Anonymous]Boats and second homes can be financed. True now, true many years ago. I am truly shocked at the number of high-income people in general who have no concept that wealth is not something that you can see. Not in where someone lives, not in what someone drives, not in what someone wears.

My parents owned one home, no mortgage, and I received absolutely no financial aid for college. I couldn't even get federal loans. I had to pay my way through college. And I am young enough that this was virtually impossible. No young person could earn enough to pay for their own college in those days, and there were no influencers yet. I had very little social life in high school or college so that I could earn enough, through merit scholarships and work, to pay in full. To this day, there are people that I went to college with that assumed I was poor because I worked all through college. Those people had loans, federal and private, and didn't work as much as I did. I didn't judge them then, and I don't judge them now.

Nobody in the financial aid system is "gaming" it. It is virtually impossible to have objectively fair rules that govern financial aid, taking into account the diversity in this country, let alone this metro area.[/quote]
