You realize the Brady’s must have been full-need by the time Bobby and Cindy went to school.  7 FAFSA does not stand for Frightfully Agonizing Form for Student Aid  6. EFC does not stand for Exhausted Family Can’t

 5. Having the college waive your tuition based on your students good looks and charm is as likely as North losing to West Chicago in football.  4. New Years Eve and Super Bowl parties are pale compared to the celebration of completing your first FAFSA.  3. Financial Aid phone number replace family members on speed dial.  2. Buying $100 of Powerball and Lotto tickets a week before school starts is not considered financially planning for college.  1.
