What worked in my case was: -As soon as I left the house, I was technically independent. Although my parents still "loaned" me money whenever I needed it, it, it was understood that any educational loans would be forgotten. -After 2 years, the college considers me independent and does not include my parents' (rather signifigant) resources in my financial aid evaluation. The college will make up any money I cannot earn myself. What I have found, however, is that students who work during the school year and then full time during the summer make an average of about 17K/year. This is more than enough for me to still alive for a year, and in fact, if I were a decent money manager, would yield a nice surplus. As it is, I enjoy my lifestyle a lot, all the more so because I earn it. Daniel Lieman
