FAFSA 99999 but low cashflow - ideas?

Our conundrum is that our income is not THAT high and our cashflow is low, so making a $55K payment to private college, with after tax dollars, is really going to be a squeeze

<p>If your FAFSA EFC is $99,999, then your annual income exceeds $200,000 a year (and I would say that is very high)…or you have very significant assets…VERY significant. Did you think your family would qualify for need based aid?</p>
