I did it for eleven long years. The kids after high school aren’t even around come FAFSA time and it would take more time to fill them in on our finances, try to connect by phone, follow up and all that nonsense than to sit down and do it. Plus we are a family where H and I paid the college bills so it just makes sense to manage the college financing. The other plus is that college financial aid offices certainly know who pays the bills and aren’t under the illusion that the vast majority of kids are not paying their own bills so they are much quicker to respond to parents than to kids if there are questions or something comes up. I also do taxes for the whole extended family so it was super easy to get 'er done each year.
