Advice - Student Loans

[Rodimus Prime]

I agree people who come from rich family who parents will not or can not pay for college get screwed because they will not qualify for any help and yet still have to pay for school. But I do think they can still get student loans just no other real help.

I never bother filling out my fasfa because my parents income is well over the limit to get any help but then again I am among the lucky few who have parents who can afford to pay for my college

The best advice I can offer to those who REALLY want to go but their parents "make too much", and wont pay, is to get married.

Do it for nothing more than paper, and you will now have only YOUR income on your FAFSA.

There are a million reasons why this is a bad idea, weigh them against the positive nature of getting tons of financial aid.
