I also think it’s funny that these loans assume parents are gonna help pay for schooling.


I haven’t seen that come into play yet.

 

True, I have no intention of pushing a college agenda if what she wants to do doesn't necessarily need it. I definitely grew up under the "college or end up flipping burgers" mindset and don't intend on letting that repeat onto her

But if she does want to go, I want there to be money set aside lol. Can only imagine how expensive it will be in the future

 

Yes, exactly this.

 

If you're still a dependent though they will look at their income no matter if they're helping you or not when it comes to figuring out loans.

 

This was the wheel from the El Dorado. I do regret not grabbing it.

 

Oh I know, that’s what I’m saying.
Why does it matter what they make if they aren’t spending any of it to help me with school.

 

Just simplifies it for them I guess, if they start looking at every situation in-depth it wouldn't be feasible to get anything done?

I dunno, we need a financial aid director to get in on this, @Kwikvette is probably the closest haha

 

He's still learning the shapes and colors

 

I can lend him this after my daughter is done with it in a year or so

I meant like a student financial aid director, this whole convo came up the last couple pages about students loans..fed vs private mostly. You probably know more about how it works than any of us do though as I'm sure they aren't all that different when it comes down to it

 

I can't help but wonder how the carbon footprint of new LEDs is justified.
Just another delusional ECO feel good public self edification driven by green tax credits.

 

He's applying for financial aid?

They'll look at you if you're a dependent or not, and if so, base income based on the household (if dependent) or your own (if not dependent).

 

Not gonna save it for kiddo #2?

 

I feel like they definitely could have spent the money better, specially with how this last year was.

 

Only saving a few things in case there's a kiddo 2 in the future, don't have a lot of storage space and little stuff like that is easy to replace. Bigger ticket items we'll keep up in the attic for awhile
