[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can you get need based aid at $250k?[/quote]

Yes. Our DC got need based aid.[/quote]

Where was this?  That's almost unheard of at that HHI level, particularly anything over a nominal amount.  No one should think they might get need based aid with that income unless there are unusual circumstances at play (e.g. 3 kids in college at the same time).  We don't even make $200K and we still get an EFC of more than $60K.  [/quote]

Yes, 3 tuitions. We aren’t expecting this in two or three years.[/quote]

Sorry but this bothers me. Why should you get a break because you had multiple kids? But we don't get a break for living in a high COLA area and made the decision to forego more kids, more expensive purchases in life to save for the kids we have? 
This is the BS unfairness of this process.[/quote]

Having more kids and raising them successfully is a great benefit to society.

You living in a high COLA area and refusing to have more kids is a detriment to society.

It is not at all unfair that the former should be rewarded and the latter punished.[/quote]

a) You assume mine was a choice.
b) My COLA living has a link to my and DH's job, both of which contribute to society (defense, and innovation). Our jobs do not exist except in other even higher COLA areas. 
c) Having more kids is not necessarily a benefit from a land and water use, sustainability perspective.[/quote]
