[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]“$400k in a high cost area with 3 kids in college (which gives you no discounts) is a big struggle to pay $80-90k/year for each kid”

Cry me a river 🙄[/quote]

Easy to say when someone else is paying your bills.[/quote]

Nobody else is paying my bills, what are you babbling about?[/quote]

If your kid is getting need-based aid, that’s exactly what’s happening. The classmates paying rack rate are subsidizing your kid’s education. They ARE paying your bills.

You sarcastically wrote “cry me a river”, right? That’s what was responded to. Who would say that other than someone dismissing the complaint of those paying full price? [/quote]

I make half that and I live in a high cost area and I’m not getting any need based aid. I’m not getting any subsidies, and I’m not sorry for people making twice what I am. I’d trade places with them in a heartbeat.[/quote]

Exactly.  We go without fancy million dollar houses and vacations to save for college.  Hen you are living far better with more kids, we should feel bad or think you should get financial aid?[/quote]
