[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The "no aid but they have a second home" part was priceless. Some people are so oblivious.[/quote] That is how I initially read it, but I can see it in three ways and not sure what the writer (or Sara herself) intended. First, a simple juxtaposition between not getting aid and having a second home, underscoring the ridiculousness of this person's thinking. In this case the not getting financial aid doesn't have a logical connection to the sentence about the second home. Second, she is trying to explain away why they appear wealthy but actually need financial aid. The important word here being "luck"--due to a family inheritance or something--i.e., they don't have cash flow but they happen to have a second home. Third, she views herself as a lucky that she has another option of where to live and find a better school situation since NYC didn't work out.[/quote]
