Families who had to have a hard talk about how they would pay for college. Or not. You have to complete the FAFSA etc and submit their Tax forms.

My stepdad supported a family of 9 on a salary between $40 and 50k. He died when I was 15 (and my younger siblings were 3, 5, 6) and left a $200K annuity that covered the family for about 10 years and then my mom went back to work. She makes about $30k now.

Dad was disabled but did not qualify for any benefits. Mom made $40k, but at least housing was cheap, maybe average for region was $80k for 3-bedroom house? (House values are still about that range today).

$88k was the last I saw on a FAFSA application. My dad was the sole employed party and was about 58 then. Today, as a 28 year old with no children, I make $75k. Crazy to think my dad raised 3 kids plus himself on that.

No idea. Money was not discussed like that. We were comfortable bit not wealthy.

How much, together, did they make per year?
