Is there anyway through this financial situation-E-Answer.Net

I am going to be a senior in high school. I have a sister that is starting her freshman year and 2 brothers that are still in grade school. My tuition costs about $6000, my brothers is around like $4000, but my sisters is about $8000. She also has to pay an extra $1500 just to take the bus, not to mention the school now requires laptops. We all know how pricey they get. If you add up the total amount of tuition, it is about $19500 (this number is just an estimate). That is about half the amount of money that is actually being brought into the household (annual salary after taxes is what I mean). This does not even include my sister in college who always needs money because, lets face it, college drains your wallets. I'm sure all you college kids know what I'm talking about.
If anyone has any solutions, please tell me.

♫Aye♫Aye Votes: +0	I don't understand why your family is paying tuition for high school. Do you and your sister and two brothers attend a private school? If so, then of course your parents would save a lot of money by sending you to public school which is already paid for by tax dollars. As for paying for college, you simply file a FAFSA for federal student aid and attend a community college the first two years. That's what I'm doing. Save the expensive university for the last years of college. Oh, and let's not forget about college work-study programs. You won't make much money but you can make enough to buy your lunches for the month. report abuse vote down vote up


Winnie Votes: +0	I put myself through school by living at home, going to community college for the first two years for my AA, and then I transfered to a state college for the last two years for my BA. I was able to earn enough money working part time to pay for everything. It was a tough four years, but I came out owing nothing. report abuse vote down vote up
