(Insert sarcastic laughter)...What's the FAFSA? Well, FAFSA stands for Free Application for Federal Student Aid. If you're going to college, and want a chance at some money from the government, you fill it out, send it in, and then you get to wait until the government determines how much money will be going into your pocket through grants, or my personal favorite (ugh)...loans. :(

Oh boy, i can't wait to do mine. :rolleyes: :rolleyes: Oh well ill be doing mine this weekend.

I've been out of college for (ahem) about a decade and I dont remember the form being called that. I'm sure it was a different name way back then ;) so I now know what you're talking about.

Ah I see now. Never filled one of those out. My "college" right now is my computer at home and my "grant" money for books and what not comes from VISA/MC hehe.

I got my education at no charge....I pity the NZ students who want to get ahead..........there is generally not much financial support from the govt. available these days.A student of dentistry,for example can expect to graduate with a student loan debt roughly equivalent to what I could buy a nice rural house for.

Ill be doing mine online this weekend, but it's still a pain in the butt to do. someone wanna do mine for me? i pay good? jk

yea more money i will owe after school :rolleyes:

i've never filled one out, but then again, i'm not in college yet :)

but i don't think i'll need to fill one of those out anyway......... college fund

Even if you are "set for life" it still wouldn't be a bad idea to go to school to have something to fall back on...never know if hard times come up.

Curious question for ya G$...since you don't work or go to school what do you do to keep busy (aside from PWing on AF :p). I am asking only cuz I know if I was in your shoes I would need to go out and do something to keep busy. I am not asking this as a rip (so no one else flame please) I am just curious as to what you do in your free time :)

Okay, that's true to some extent. But who says you have to start paying back loans after you graduate? If you start now, you slowly whittle away the amount you owe, and when you do graduate, there will be a lot fewer interest payments in the future. Just a thought. :)

How's about not getting student loans at all? I'll go back to trade school before I take out a student loan. I work two jobs in the summer and during december so I don't graduate with 40,000$ in debt looking for a job I don't know that will be there. There is no guarantee that a good paying job will be waiting for you after school to pay back those stupid loans.

you think i don't go to school? lol, why do you think i don't post till like 4pm every day (on average)

I'm 17... in high school
and i don't PW anymore, that was the G$ of the past. Notice how i'm not on any of the posters list anymore? I'm only on the "Ever" category, cause i don't post much anymore.

i usually don't do much mon-thurs since they're school nights, so if i don't go to a friends or somethin then i'll post on AF. on fri and sat. nights i'm always out doin somethin with friends, either at a party or juss chillin with a few people :)
that's my average not too detailed schedule for you, lol

Ahhh....for some reason I thought you were already 18 and out of high school....my bad! Sorry :o So at least you have something to keep you out of trouble for now j/k. And today is my first chance to PW in ages as I have been busy getting caught up at the office , vacation last week, and am picking up a few design projects here n there to work on after getting home. I need an extra 4 hours in the day...but the rest of the world would probably hate me if we added more time to the days LOL. As for my not-so-detailed schedule.......
workdays/nites:
go to work
go to the gym
come home
computer work til late

weekends:
chill with alex and friends or wonder what the hell we are gonna do :)

I'm also doing high school over 5 years, for some reason... so i won't be outta high school till i'm 19 (not because i'm an idiot, that's just how it is)
this country is messed up :) (actually i think it's just like this in ontario)

Damn that sucks :( Maybe I'll move to Canada when I have kids to keep them outta my hair for a bit...hehe j/k.

I don't wanna move out, i don't wanna go anywhere.... i'd rather have everything stay just like it is :(


Dante: and yeah, bras are evil.... why are they so complicated? lol

HEHE, having problems there G$? LOL. I guess they are evil.:D:D

My company is actually hired by the state to work on the FAFSA project. I am currently sitting in the building where your data gets sent to and processed through many many programs (some of which I wrote :)). And may I recommend that especially if you are just getting out of HS that you fill out the form!!!!! The way they have the categories and criteria set up, you guys have the best chance at getting the money!

And NO!! I will not put your name into the program so when it comes across your name you will get awarded!! I already tried it for myself and got into trouble :eek:
