Fucking Assholes Formulate Stupid Application
I got a 2 hour break from work today and have spent its entirety on staring at little letters and numbers, only to have these little letters and numbers refer me to even smaller letters and numbers on my income tax forms. FAFSA is not my most favorite thing to fill out on said break. However, it must be done. Only to have to the federal government tell me, "Screw you, your parents make money... I don't care if you're not getting any of it."
I'm going into next year with little to no money, including whatever debt I have acquired over the past several years (credit card, a car I may purchase, etc). Fortunately, rent, grocery, and utility bills will go out the window due to living with a set of my parents. (Shhh, don't tell the feds) School next year is going to cost me my first born, and that doesn't include any other expenses or my attempts to save up anything for the following 4 years of school.
The good news is, apparently I have "excellent" credit which should allow me to get some pretty good loans at low interest rates. Go figure. The bad news is, I'll be paying off these loans until I'm in my 40's. Sorry kids, no college for you.
I sympathize with anyone who has, is currently, or will ever have incur so much debt in their life. I'm told it's not fun. Has anyone told me it's worth it yet??
