I made less money last year and my EFC went UP. Craziness.
because they assume that you made less money, so your family will increase their contribution.
But that's just my point! You she obeys! She obeys you! There's obeying going on right under my nose!

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

My family doesn't enter into the picture at all, though. It's just based on my income. I don't know. Me just hateses them.

vw - I go through the same thing each year. I totally don't understand the EFC.

I didn't say it made any sense, I just said why they do it.

But I'm pushing 40...why would my parents chip in now? The only income information I put in my FAFSA is for me, DH and the family expenses. I'm considered an "independent student".

If you're both an adult and living on your own, your "family" is you.
If your parents are still claiming you on their income taxes, your family includes them.

Suzi, in your case, it would include your income and your husband's, right?

I think they expect you to put your children to work.
I have no clue, so I'm asking -- do the calculations adjust for cost of living in a place like the Bay Area as compared to, say, Kansas City?

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
I think they expect you to put your children to work.Or sell them.

I'm pretty sure it doesn't.
