How much financial aid can you borrow up to before you can be denied any more?
Q. I owe almost $3500 in financial aid? I am thinking of applying to another college, but I am worried that I won't get any financial aid since I already owe. Eventually, I will pay back my financial aid, but I was wondering is there a limit to the amount of financial aid you can receive?
Asked by Alexis B - Sun Nov 30 11:59:32 2008 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. I'm assuming that the $3500 that you owe in financial aid is a loan, probably a Federal Stafford Loan. Financial aid is looked at year by year and varies from each school. There are limits that you can reach for Stafford Loans if this is indeed what your current financial aid is owed. You can get up to $31,000 as a dependent student with no more than $23,000 being Subsidized over the course of attending college. Grants and scholarships are usually not based as much on amount limits when going for your degree as much as time. For example, some grants stop after you get your bachelors. Some of them stop after 2 years whether you received a degree or not. Each one varies, but if you passed all your classes, you probably aren't in much danger.… [cont.]

What type of non-financial information is helpful in constructing the budget model?
Q. How is non-financial information used to calculate financial information? What advantages does the inclusion of non-financial information have in communicating tactics to make the financial goals?
Asked by qtpie34 - Wed Feb 14 10:37:58 2007 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Every financial assumption is based on non-financial data. For example, how many employees are on the payroll? What is an average percentage raise you will give this year? Are you going to hire anybody new? If so, at what rate? When are you expecting to get that big insurance refund? When do you pay your property taxes? How much will they be? What will the management bonus be this year? When will it be paid? What interest rate is associated with your loan? Can you get a better rate from another financial institution? If you don't know, how soon do you intend to shop that? A budget is nothing more than quantifying your operational business plan for the year.

Is financial analysis and consolidating debt really worth it?
Q. My boyfriend and I just had a financial analysis done but haven't gotten the results on our options yet. Is it really worth it to go through with this? Has anyone had experience on it? I mean we have debt but not so much we can't handle. On the other hand we are both mid-twenties and have no retirement savings started and we are not able to put much, if any, in our savings accounts. We will have the option to consolidate debt, start retirement accounts, have money to put in savings, and get better life insurance. Is this just a ploy for the financial company to prey on young people or is this real? Please help!
Asked by AliyahMichelle - Tue Sep 25 19:22:14 2007 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Honestly, debt consolidation does not get rid of your debt - it just moves it around. If you have to pay these people to do this, don't. You can do this on your own. There is a great (and free!) plan to get out of debt, save for retirement, grow savings and retire a millionaire (it's just a matter of taking charge of your money and putting yourself on a budget). (like the guy before me who said it helped him - several times...well apparently he didn't get it right the first time if he needed to do it several times). www.daveramsey.com Dave Ramsey has helped thousands of families get out of debt and give them financial peace using a very logical and simple method. Good luck!

How does financial aid work if you are married?
Q. I am thinking about going to dental school for 4 years after college, but I will be getting married in between. My future husband will also be in school, getting his master's, for 2 years.

A. Here is a scenario: Say you are getting married March 2007 and want to apply fro financial Jan 2007. You can file your fafsa as a single person because the fafsa requires you to stipulate what your income, household status, at this point.

Now, if you are considered a dependent student, meaning, you are below the age of 24, have no children, not a vet, not going to grad school; you will need your parents information to file the fafsa. If you are considered an independent student, then you will file your own taxes.

How do I get financial aid for my son if I also get financial aid?
Q. What affects will my financial aid need have on his financial aid? This is for College.
Asked by Pinky - Wed Nov 7 14:33:38 2007 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. You both will still have to complete the FAFSA separately. Your FAFSA will just contain your income and tax information/savings, while your son's FAFSA will contain yours and his. So, his EFC will most likely be different than yours. You both will be answering a couple of questions the same: how many in the household and of those how many attending college. You can get a rough idea of what the EFC for both of you will be by using this calculator: The financial aid you both may receive will be different if you both are attending different schools. Schools use the COA (Cost of Attendance) in conjunction with the EFC to determine a student's financial aid. So the need may be different. No one here can really tell you for sure since… [cont.]

How does financial aid as a visiting student work?

A. You should talk with the financial aid office at your home school. It all depends on whether the scholarship at your home school is transferable for a semester somewhere else. If not, you may be able to receive federal aid through your home school's financial aid office if you have filed a FAFSA.

A. The money market fund or account manager determines what kind of assets they consider worthy. Read the prospectus for the fund or account. In addition, the fund or account manager has some flexibility in how they implement the fund or account guidelines. There may be some federal standards too. Not sure about that. Buyer Beware! The "gold standard" for money market funds is Vanguard's treasury MM fund, which invests entirely in treasury bonds.

Count income from wages, tips, interest on savings, child support payments, and any other source of income. Include that of your spouse also. Also consider more variable sources of income. Do you receive regular overtime or a large bonus? Is it guaranteed? Can you calculate average amounts by using past bank statements or pay slips? Try to be accurate and get to an average 'net' (after taxes) income. 2. Identify your expenses. First identify your large, predictable expenses.

A. Financial reports allow business managers to see current numbers compared to years prior. It will allow them to see growth or loss. It let's them know where the company stands in the "market place" and what percentage of consumer spending in that market place is being spent on that company.

A. Many financial advisors will offer free consultations in the hope that you will decide to purchase investmenst products from them. Although there are many commission-based advsiors who are excellent, there is a growing belief that using a fee-based advisor tends to eliminate any potential conflicts of interest. If an advisor charges a fee- either hourly or based on assets managed (i.e. 1% per year)- then there is no incentive to him to put you in high-commission products for his own gain. There should be no commissions with a fee-based advisor.
