FAFSA Frustration

<p>Seems like an awful lot of work for a maximum $5500 dollar a year Pell grant. See, I would rather make more money, even when it results in a higher EFC. Why? If, let’s say, 30% of my extra money gets added back into my EFC and another 40% goes to taxes, I’m still left with 30% MORE MONEY. I figure I come out ahead. I mean, it’s MY kid. Why shouldn’t I be the one paying for her to go to school?</p>
