[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are very privileged to be in a position where our first child is headed off to his first choice, OOS, college next year and his 529 is more than fully funded, through college and grad school, due to a lifetime of saving on our part and contributions from both sets of grandparents. 
This is wonderful, we are thrilled for him that he's going to a school he's thrilled about and that we can pay for it, etc.
Social etiquette question - I suppose due to our lifestyle choices(?) everyone assumes we have filled out the FAFSA, hate the FAFSA, can answer and commiserate about questions about loans and financial aid, etc. We've tried smiling and nodding, changing the subject - but at some point this feels like a personal financial assumption that I'm tired of dealing with. What's a good way of ending the conversation? [/quote]

I’d be more concerned with trying to quickly undo your terrible decision of setting $1 million on fire (you said you have multiple kids, so presumably you’re doing this multiple times).  Unless his “first choice” was Harvard, anywhere he goes will be basically no better than UMD.[/quote]

Off topic and mean spirited. People do not need to live by your values.[/quote]
