What is this madness...

Confused as to why FAFSA assumes that my parents are willing to contribute 25k out of their 100k a year salary to only ONE of FOUR children for college education. Also, why does FAFSA think that I can contribute ANY money to my college education?

Unless they mean that my parents will be willing to put on 25k debt per year.. but with 4 children, they are most definitely not going to do that.

Mind you, my parents genuinely had to work overtime ALL YEAR to even touch close to 100k... and it doesn't help that a lot of the good scholarships are hard to get, and even harder to come by.

I feel like it's so hard to come by any help if you live in a two-parent married household.

For the cherry on top, one of my parents is going to retire soon.
