DanTheLewis's Journal: School Stuff

Basically, I am worried that money will get in the way of my getting a degree. The Expected Family Contribution on my FAFSA is 7000+ dollars! 600 a month. No way.

I'm basically stuck with it though. I don't know how much money the school will provide. I suppose they expect me to pay with money from the job I will be going to half time at most while I study math and science. Or from my wife's job, that she'll have to leave soon here (for private reasons).

I guess the last solution is just to get more loans. I can't believe I'm on this train, again, but sooner or later, it had to happen, I guess. I've taken too long to go back to school and now my wife and I have to hang on for the ride of our life.

Today, hopefully, we'll head out to a condo and see if it is right for us. We've seen a very similar one and liked it, and we are supposed to get a good deal from them and a good helper to sort out the loan for us. It'll be a little more per month. Hopefully, the food stamp people will be generous with us while I get my technical degree.

Really hopefully, the school will take our monthly situation into account when everything finally shakes out.
