[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have a HHI of $300k and pay full private tuition for 2 kids. I would be embarrassed to ask for FA when we can pay the full amount by both working full time, driving older cars, taking cheap vacations, and living in a smaller home with a reasonable mortgage. I can't believe that some of my donations might be going to a family with twice our annual income.[/quote] Spread the word. And I would also volunteer To spearhead a committee to recruit actual "needy" students. Help those kids navigate the FA and application process. Get rid of these disgusting people. [/quote] Judgmental. [/quote] I absolutely will judge you if you're taking my money while in the top 1% of us incomes. [/quote] We are not wealthy. Close to $100,000 goes straight into retirement account. We both have student loans. Right there before we even pay the mortgage we are near $450k. Other people who have HHI at $300k, I bet are not required to stick almost 100k into retirement. Our aid is not much in the $10-15k. You act like we are stealing money when we are not at all. [/quote] What kind if retirement account REQUIRES a $100,000 contribution??? You may WANT to put this money away for retirement by choice but it Is not a requirement.[/quote] BigLaw. [/quote]
