[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My parents didn't support me after 18 (they let me move in and out and did give me money sometimes, but nothing substantial).  I did grants and a small loan and scholarships for college while working to support myself, and I had assistantships in grad school.  Got a to a ph.d with a total of 10,000 of debt.  But college was a lot cheaper back then and my college was in the south so cost of living was also cheap.  No way could my kids do that - it isn't as cheap as it was in the 90s.  And I want more for them than a second tier state school that they got As and Bs at while rarely going to class.[/quote]

And your parents filed a joint return showing income of 1 million a year ? I ask, becaus ethis thread is not for MC kids who's parents COULD NOT pay, its to see if any rich kids had parenst who refused to pay for even so much as undergrad.

I myslef got stuck by the step -father income on the joint return. No bank or state or fed grant prgram was going to give me a student loan with parents having a joint income of 1 million/year. And no grant program would accept that a parent would refuse to support a 17 year old.

Just wonderin' any of you "private school parents" really "raise yourselves" [/quote]

Your stepfather is an asshole.

I think kids should have the option of not listing step parents on fafsa, bc many step parents will not contribute to college.[/quote]
