[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here, To answer another question. Yes. She applied for financial aid by filling out a FAFSA.

There is no way I can pay what they calculate at our EFC. I wonder how they come up with that number. I mean, it’s not a matter of if I’m frugal and don’t go on vacation and keep driving my 5 year old car I can swing it. It’s like literally there is no way I can come up with that much money per year.[/quote]

Then your daughter will have to take out loans.  And/or choose a less expensive school.  You do realize when you say 5 year old car it makes you look a bit absurd as a 5 year old car is very new to many of us.[/quote]

[b]oh, ffs. [/quote][/b]

Well, it IS true for us.  Both cars are sixteen years old and we're going to continue to drive them into the ground until the last kid graduates and NOT from an expensive private institution.[/quote]

And if you drive it into the ground before the last kid graduates, you’ll.... walk? Or maybe you’ll get a new or new-to-you car. Actually, it can be quite expensive to keep 16 year old cars running. I’m glad you’re making decisions that work for you, 16-year-old-cars lady, but those decisions may not work for everyone in every circumstance. You know that, right?[/quote]
