Yes, you don’t get it. But, don’t worry, you’re not alone by any means.
I apologize, I really don’t see how the numbers work out. Perhaps if you explained to the school how little you really live with (no matter how much you actually show on your 1040), they will make an exception.
Syag: The OP said she/he makes “Income < $100K”. The median household income in the US is somewhere in the 54K area, and median salary about $44K. There are no tuition payments. As I said above, I simply don’t get it, i.e. where the money is going. Unless by “Income < $100K” they mean closer to the poverty limit, which is a different issue. I have to assume the OP has extreme and unusual circumstances that they are unwilling to disclose, but that will hurt them in justifying financial support.
as you have mentioned in past threads (at least i think it was you), family planning, which i never before had heard a frum yid suggest.
As DY can tell you, I consider the term “Frum” as a pejorative. 🙂
We can discuss “family planning” on a different thread, if the mods let you do it.
Finally, if you believe that the OP’s child is by definition deserving of a Yeshiva education, might I suggest that you either provide it or pay for it. I’m sure the Mods can get your spare $60,000 over to the OP.
