[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I applied to college without assistance from my parents 20 years ago. Why do parents feel the need to help kids now? Is the process more complicated or is helicoptering just too ingrained? [/quote] [b]Both of my kids applied for college, filled out FAFSA and paid for college themselves. One is 24 and the other is graduating in May. Both finished in four years. Kids CAN be self-sufficient people![/quote][/b] No child has the information needed to fill out the FAFSA unless their parents gave it to them. As for the CSS, does your child know the year you purchased your house, the amount of mortgage left and its current value. Does your child know the year of yours cars, what you paid for them, make model and whether or not they are paid off? Even our CPA didn't know some of the answers. We had to dig to find 20 year old house purchase records.[/quote]
