I am waiting for my financial aid info from my school and am getting a little nervous.
I am a non trad that has some retirment savings and when I did my FAFSA, my EFC was like 30k. Also, we made pretty good money over the last few years, but when you have kids, mortgage, etc and then bump up a tax bracket, it is surprining how fast money evaporates!
So, I want to see if I understad this.....Does my EFC affect just my eligibility for unsubsidized loans, or lonas at all? There is no way I can come up with 30k for school. I am trying to make up a six figure salasry by me going back to school...........
Also, my wife has 50k in loans as she is working on her masters and got her undergrad later in life. It doesn't seem like this was even included, but they do include her income (which is all what we will have when I am in school)
Any insight from any of you would help, especially non trads that have been through similar situations.
Thanks, in advance.
