We have HHI of 600k and get 10% aid at Big 3 with 2dc. SAH. But a chunk of DH's income goes into retirement account automatically. When you account for that and loans, under 500k. Lots of diff situations where aid is appropriate.

cmon people. this has to be a troll. people making 800K cannot be getting any aid.


300k student loans, 2 home mortgages. They factor in your expenses.
.

please. If someone making $800k with a sahm and only 1 kid is getting aid, then no one at that school should contribute to the annual fund anymore. I call troll. If not, that's truly disturbing.

Seriously! If people can't figure out this is a joke, no wonder they can't figure out how to pay tuition.

I can be done...people lie about their income...they have a salaried job that pays pretty good...but most of their annual income comes from investments that they don't report. If there is a will to scam the system...there is a way.
