[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DS attends private HS with a child whose single father works hard at a low paying job. He told me he worked extra (he works extra all the time anyway... I'm talking extra, extra) all summer so he could buy his son the uniforms for school. His son is brilliant and a perfect fit at the school.

OP, this is why FA exists. Not so people with 1M net worth don't have to spend a penny of their own money to educate their kids. Seriously, OP you disgust me.[/quote]

Seriously, PP you disgust me. Not with your reasoning, but with your ranting.

It's important to ask questions. I teach my children that. I asked an honest question, to which I expected reasonable responses.

I'm fully aware of the purpose of financial aid, but I'm not sure it's fairly distributed when people on financial aid are picking their kids up in Beamers. These are not the people you describe who have nothing. I'd never expect a school to give money to me instead of people who are very poor, but if they are giving handouts to the Beamer-and iPhone crowd, I'd think they'd think I was eligible too.

We're hardworking, frugal and cautious, not stupid. Save your disgust for someone lazy who has their hand out -- they deserve it. (And if you can add, we have $850K in net worth, not $1M, all of which is illiquid.) We live on our income, something many people don't do. Those are the disgusting ones.[/quote]
