<p>swimcatsmom-
I realize that there are some low-income families with financial needs. I'm not that stupid. But (and this is from an estimate, not the FAFSA) to expect that someone has $35,000 per year sitting around is ridiculous. And, like you, our medical expenses are out of pocket so I know how you feel. But think about it this way- I am 18. I am filling out tax/FAFSA forms with little or no help. I have never done this before. I am taking the whole family's financial burden on my back. I'm sorry I "pushed your buttons," but that's life so deal with it. I don't need someone harassing me because I'm trying to find ways to make my family's life easier.</p>
