...grand a month? My father passed away in 2008 without any life insurance or anything. My mom now works by herself as a nurse working two jobs and makes 130K a year. I have a younger sister, and my brother and I both go to college(undergrad). My mom still has yet to pay off the interest on the house mortgage and has to pay off two cars. Am i missing out certain information on the fafsa or does my mom just work too much for that much money?
