I am a mom of 2 little boys (and to little girls) and I will tell you that my boys love to run around outside, since it is summer they love to go out on the slip n slide. They like to build ramps out of everything for their toy trucks to race down. I let them play on the computer on funbrain.com and coolmath-games.com. We go to parks and out for ice cream. There are lots of low-priced outdoor toys you could get for them (such as balls, bubbles, a sprinkler, jumpropes, etc.) to keep them busy and wear them out. Make sure they always have lots of water or gatorade if you are playing outside all week. Have a good time!

Personally, I would put my money into mutual funds instead. I like Fidelity, but there are lots of good companies out there.

Gold and silver are quite volatile and risky and are as likely to go down, as up. I certainly wouldn’t have them as my only investment. Unfortunately you missed a big run-up in gold prices over the last couple of years.

It’s easy to sell gold and silver, but the catch is, you’ll lose value everytime you make a transaction, and transactions in tangible product are less efficient than electronic transactions. In other words, you can always sell it, but you might not make any money.

Don’t believe the ads on places like FOX News that gold is a “sure thing”.

A good resource for gold prices is:

Michelle answers:

Even if you move out you will still be considered a dependent student for financial aid purposes. To be considered independent for financial aid you need to be 24, married, have children, join the army or earn a bachelor’s degree. Simply moving out is not grounds to be classified as independent. So, you will be offered the same amount next year.
You need to prevent your money from being used for your parents’ tuition expenses. They can take out their own loans. If you can afford to move out. If you can’t afford to move out then get a job and save your money. In the mean time there are things you can do. While you can’t fill out the FAFSA on your own, you can restrict your parents’ access to your university account. You should be able to accept a lower amount of student loan money so that there is no extra for them. If you still want the full amount then there are options. Open up your own bank account that your parents do not have access to. If your school has the option of directly depositing a refund into your account then do that. If you must get a check, make sure to get to it before your parents (you might be able to pick it up directly at the school instead of waiting for the mail. You can also open up a post office box so that your parents do not have access to your personal mail.

Michelle answers:

Dear Boston,

I’m sorry about ur family situation. But divorce is a big issue on Fafsa… Don’t hide that fact. Depending on who your Twins choose to live with will have some bearing on Fin Aid. Also your ex needs his own pin number. U don’t want him saying u falsified info or vice versa. If he knew your pin, change the password.

U know ur kids r going to need extra reassurance from Both of U about life, school and living arrangements. If there is any way that u and your ex can be friendly and raising the kids together… Not in same household but communicating so they don’t play one off the other. Many kids will because of the situation. It’s just human nature.

Fafsa is the Federal Govt… Don’t leave things out. They don’t play when it comes to catching irregularities. They do prosecute. Honestly, divorcing will probably help your Twins because now they fact in two households etc…

Michelle answers:

I read in a news article a while ago about your question and found this answer on the web:
http://community.simpletuition.com/simpletuition/topics/did_you_say_to_use_last_years_income_tax_numbers_to_fill_out_the_fafsa_now
Quote:
Just use your old taxes as a guide to make reasonable estimates about the current year.. Then later you can make corrections when your actual taxes are done.

That is, for the estimated income information, use the figures from your mother’s 2009 Federal Income tax filing and then file a corrected FAFSA after she has completed her 2010 Federal filing.

Here’s the link to the FAFSA top Frequently Asked Questions and answers:
http://studentaid.ed.gov/PORTALSWebApp/students/english/faqs.jsp
Your question is #10 on the list.

Here’s a link to the FAFSA document (PDF – Adobe Reader) on correcting/revising a FAFSA application filed earlier:

The section most relevant to your needs starts on page AVG-97 of the document (actually the 3rd page of the document with the above link.)

I believe that Firefox has an agreement with google to run their search window in the top right corner of the browser. That’s why it’s free. Have you tried the Opera browser?

Michelle answers:

When Firefox blocks a pop up, a little bar comes up at the top of the screen, and lets you know it has done this. You can click the options button there, and set it to always allow pop-ups from www.whatever.com.

You can also go to tools>options>content, and edit the exceptions next to the block pop-up windows tick box.

Michelle answers:

Give up on Firefox until its fixed there are currently just too many problems to rate it as a reliable piece of software. Try Orca, K-Meleon or Flock they are all free Mozilla based browsers and are all faster than Firefox. They have been produced by people who agree the Mozilla search engine is best but that firefox has gone wrong somewhere. If you go to firefox help pages or Mozillazine help pages you will see that the people there are extremely arrogant and blame everything and everybody for having problems with Firefox. Not a good sign. IE8 is OK with a shell like Avant or Maxthon or slim browser. But a browser that is not part of the OS will always be more secure. The less well known it is the less likely it will be hacked.

You make an excellent point. Obama has no track record of bipartisan efforts. Therefore, I don’t expect anything he does to be bipartisan. Sad, but true.

“Reaching across the isle” is merely a sales pitch to gain votes and nothing more.

A strong candidate would have no problem with all the major news outlets reporting and that includes FOX. Obama’s clear avoidance of FOX makes him look weak. I mean, even Hillary wasn’t afraid to take the pundits at FOX on; and she did it beautifully.

Michelle answers:

Oh come now everyone knows that none of the news organizations have positions on these topics. They merely report on the various topics in the news in a highly non partisan and thoroughly objective manner. They merely report the facts so the electorate can form their own conclusions thus making them enlightened voters. ‘None’ of the news organizations are biased. You have a good day now

Michelle answers:

It seems like you might be confused about a couple of things, so let’s see if I can help.

First of all, the FAFSA isn’t your financial aid – the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) is just an application form that you use to apply for aid.

The information that you submit on your FAFSA is sent to the US Department of Education, where all of those numbers are rolled into a big mathematical formula to determine your Expected Family Contribution, or EFC score. That EFC score gets sent to the financial aid office at your school, and it’s the financial aid office – right there at your college – that determines how much financial aid you are qualified for. “FAFSA” doesn’t give you anything – the financial aid department at your school, and the federal government’s student aid program are the ones responsible for providing your aid. Remember, FAFSA is just an application form.

Also, keep in mind that you are required to submit a new FAFSA for every year that you want to apply for financial aid. As a convenience, the website is set up to provide the opportunity to begin the “new” FAFSA each year with the same info that you entered the year before, but you are responsible for updating the information that you provide. You apply for aid in the early spring of every academic year – the FAFSA for 2009-2010 will be available online right around January 1st.

When you complete the FAFSA each year, you will answer questions about your income from the previous year. If you haven’t worked in the past, but you are working during the current year, you’ll report “income” on your FAFSA form next year, and that income will become part of the analysis of your financial aid need. Keep in mind that the government expects YOU to be primarily responsible for your educational expenses – so, if you have income, you are expected to put aside a good chunk of that income to pay your educational expenses.

That having been said – unless your job pays you a very large sum of money, chances are that your additional income will not have too much of an impact on the calculation of your Expected Family Contribution score for next year – and therefore, not much of an effect on the amount of aid that you are offered for next year.

If you are currently receiving any forms of “exceptional need” aid, like a Pell Grant or a Perkins loan, your income might make you ineligible or eligible for a smaller amount, but if your current aid comes in the form of a Stafford loan, it’s very unlikely that your income will affect the amount of money that you are eligible to borrow next year.

If you have questions about how your income might impact your aid eligibility, you should direct these questions to the financial aid department, because they can review all of the other information that goes into the calculation of your aid eligibility.

Good luck!

Michelle answers:

Are you a legal U.S. Citizen or a legal resident alien? If “yes,” you may submit a FAFSA for graduate school aid (not another bachelors.).

Michelle answers:

The federal student aid system is based on the premise that parents should pay for their childrens’ education to the best of their ability, as determined by a formula that is applied to all students who apply. Whether parents choose to do that or not is a personal choice, but it doesn’t change the underlying principle that they should.

The FAFSA recognizes that there are situations where having to provide parent information doesn’t make sense. That’s why they have the dependency questions on there (are you over the age of 24, married, supporting a dependent, in the military or a veteran, attending a graduate school, etc.). If you cannot answer yes to one of those questions, then you are considered a dependent student whose parent should contribute to your education. This is true even if you don’t live with your parent, aren’t supported by them, or aren’t claimed on their tax return. ( It seems like it would be particularly true in your case where you actually are being supported by your parent. ) Your parent’s income matters because it’s the only way to determine what his/her fair share should be.

Incidentally, income is not the only thing that affects your eligibility, and not all of the family income is included. The calculation also takes into consideration factors like the number in the household, the number in college, where you live, the amount of taxes you have to pay, the age of your parents, their assets, whether they pay or recieve child support, etc. It also recognizes that families need money to live on, so there are income protection amounts built in. For example, the first $6,000 of a student’s wages aren’t included in the calculation. For parents, the protected amount depends on their age because as they get older they need to save more for retirement. For example, for parents who are 50 years old, the first $46,600 of their income is protected. The same is true for assets: for students, only 20% is included and for the parent it’s only 12%.
