Because I hate it and it is dumb.

What's a "good" EFC? What does an EFC actually tell me? Can I re-submit? Am I allowed to lie?

Fucking FAFSA.

Do financial aid folks actually realize that if I become a full-time student, my family income will essentially be halved due to one of us not having a job? If so, why are they such wankers?

My younger brother is applying to schools now and I swear the FAFSA made my mom really irritable for like 3 weeks.

Yes they are very aware of that fact.

"If so, why are they such wankers?"

They are not paid to care.

I actually thought it was pretty clear.

And I've found something I definitely need to adjust...

I got all my tax stuff together about six weeks earlier than I usually do so because I have to file this. If I don't get my last 1099 in the next couple of days, I may have to get fussy.

But you're filing as a parent right?

I R an "independent". My parents don't even know I'm applying!
