[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I said something similar because our income (and COL) dramatically increased right when college started.  I was arguing that we were judged by our current income and not the 15 years prior that we could save less. I was dragged for “whining” that our situation improved.  This site is full of crazy a-holes.[/quote]

Yeah I bet you wanted to be judged on the money you used to make and not the money you make right now.

I’ll be sure to tell NYU I want to send my 2003 tax return from when I worked in an ice cream store and not the one from 2023 where I work at a Hedge Fund.

So unfair that people want to judge me on what I actually have instead of conditions that don’t exist anymore!!! The nerve of people!!!![/quote]

No, a-hole, I want to be judged in the whole picture. Sorry that’s too reasonable a take for you to consider. [/quote]

Schools aren’t stupid. You are not going to dollar cost average your way into aid.

You couldn’t save?  No problem, borrow or pay out of cash flow. PLUS loans available for all in any amount you like.

(Some) CSS schools don’t ask about home equity because they are just curious.

this makes no sense.  it's not what dollar cost averaging means and "schools aren't stupid" could easily be followed by, "these days they can take into account circumstances like elder care or special needs kids"[/quote]
