“If your parents have been unemployed for six years and you’re still not eligible for much financial aid, they must have had incredible investments and assets - arent’they willing to sell some stock for your studies ? How have you even survived with no income for six years? Do you have a house your parents can take a HELOC on or have they used it up? Are they looking for a job and expecting one? Are you currently working anywhere to help fund your studies?”
See this is what I still don’t understand. We don’t have incredible investments/assets. My mom has got some income here and there and my dad had money saved up from his career, but not enough to pay for 50,000x4=200,000. They still have to live their own lives, pay for my sibling’s education. Of course they’re looking for jobs.
I agree something still doesn’t compute.
Now that I know what NPC means, yes we’ve done this obviously.
To be honest, I turned down GeorgiaTech because it’s in the south.
Never had a job, nothing saved.
