Simply eliminating the Tuition Hiker does not mean you’re in the clear, for the Financial Aid Rejecter, armed with copies of your tax returns and bank statements, can approach at any time and inform you your gross annual income exceeds, by 8 cents, financial aid eligibility.
Details#HusbandfromHell was trending on Twitter last week, which made me wonder if my wife had suddenly opened a Twitter account. She claims she hasn’t but the Twitterverse is awash in anonymity, allowing anyone to toss vitriolic comments at individuals without revealing his or her true identity.
