*No* amount of tuition is affordable to me right now.  In fact, a significant portion of my income comes from grants and loans.  As a single mom, it's really the only choice I have if I want to finish school.  Yes, after I'm done with my masters I will have a sh!tload of debt, but higher income with which to pay it.  Without it, yes I'm debt free, but my income potential (not to mention job satisfaction) is severely limited.
