<p>Taxes are irrelevant. </p>
<p>Many people see half their income going to various taxes (fed, state, local, property). You’re no different than many people.</p>
<p>Most people would LOVE to have $180k left over after taxes. You’re very high income - expect to pay full freight.</p>
<p>Why are you applying NYU ED? Have you visited the school? What is your major?</p>
<p>Hehe my Dad doesn’t want to pay for my tuition, and I don’t my mom to pay it all so that’s why I’m asking.</p>
<p>Are your parents married? If they are, how would your dad be able to avoid paying some of your tuition? Do they keep all their money separate??? </p>
<p>Are you saying that your dad isn’t willing to pay one dime of your college costs? Or, are you saying that he doesn’t want to pay for a $55k per year school? If he’ll pay for a less expensive school, how much will he pay?</p>
