Why do so many people have be all butt hurt because my family is broke and thus my school gives me money for my education?

I’m sorry your family hasn’t had to live in fear of losing their house the past few years and that your dad doesn’t have worry if he’s actually going…

For reals.
I know that it’s shitty being in that grey area where your family doesn’t make enough to pay for school, but but makes too much to get any need based aid.
And I understand it seems like I’m getting a lot of money because DU is private, and thus need to provide their students with more than other schools.

But honestly I have no pity on people who complain they get no financial aid, and then complain because they don’t have a trust fund, but never bothered to plan how to finance their education. I knew my family had no money for school, I’ve been working and saving and investing and planning since I was 14. When kids hear about my financial aid and scholarships they get all like “this is why I have no sympathy for the poor”. it really pisses me off, getting my financial aid is only small consolation prize for the awful reality of having two out of work parents.

Edit: I’m not sure why this reblogged all funny… trying to fix it….
