It's the end of the world (again)

I think the "auto-counting parental income for kids' college applications" is because it would be all too easy for everybody to just say their parents are dirtbags, give me lots of aid. So they assume anybody going to college has parental support.

Stinks, and I myself got caught in the bind. My folks helped the first year, but not after that and there was no way to get declared independent until I turned 24.
