[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm so sick of the lack of sympathy people have on this board for people who seem to be doing the right things.

The mom who works to help save up for college is penalized, while the SAHM's family gets financial aid. And the response is, "well, quit your job then!"

Or, "Move out of DC!" (This is a DC site. Take your hate elsewhere) Or "Don't marry another Fed!"

These are all hard-working people realizing the game is rigged. It should be okay to hate the game, but you insist on hating the people trying to play fair.

Choosing an expensive private school and then being expected to pay for it is not “being penalized”.  If that working mother thought her life and her family’s lives would have been better by her staying home (or her spouse staying home) she could have made the choice to do that.

Clearly, she thought it was advantageous to have two incomes and is not whining that she is expected to pay because she is able to pay.  But she feels entitled to keep that money for a nicer retirement or a bigger house or a better vacation.  Paying for her kid’s education is a “punishment” only in her own mind.[/quote]
