You all act as if those of us in financial aid actually have the money stuffed under our mattress but refuse to spend it. Or is the real issue that we don't feel undeserving? That's your problem if you look in the mirror and say my kids don't deserve this because I didn't choose a job that pays me enough to drop $30K a year on school. Your problem, not mine. My kids are deserving for of me doing whatever it takes to make it happen including applying for and
Accepting financial aid.[/quote]
