[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The underlying theme isn't that my EFC is $jdafjeiioo and I am pissed that I don't get aid. The underlying theme is that that EFC is totally unrealistic. $500,000??? EFC???? Per year for college??? WTF. Underlying that high dollar amount is the fact that they (and I) know that we will get 0 aid dollars unless it is scholarship money and we are ready and willing to pay for college for our kids. What is infuriating is the fact that I am subsidizing 1/2 of the other students. It just gets tiring funding everyone else at some point. I am tired of hearing "pay your fair share". I pay way more than my fair share and on top of that I pay your fair share and everyone else's. Super maddening especially in this environment of "everyone goes to college" and we don't want to look at your ACT/SAT or grades we just want to say we have "diversity" and we don't mind if we have to offer remedial math/science courses to get everyone through a degree. And the comments about family planning are totally off base - what are they supposed to do? Abort one of the twins so that they won't have 2 in college at the same time. The entitlement mentality gets old and irritating. I do not owe anyone anything and I am tired of being expected to fund other's poor use of finances. [/quote]

Sure, you do not owe anyone anything. And nobody owes [b]you[/b] a private education for only the price you wish to pay.

Private college is very expensive. I don’t know why you felt like you should be immune from the need to do any kind of financial planning in order to pay for it. Is saving money only for poor people?

The entitlement mentality here is that you feel you are entitled to private college at a price that doesn’t make a blip on your radar.[/quote]
