re: #170 Barefoot Grin

This is the key. I’m not very savvy. We’d just have to tighten the belt a bit each month. Thanks.

A lot of times it’s easier to adjust to a small change like that instead of scrambling to come up with the lump sum. mr. klys and I had to adjust our withholdings a bunch when I was in grad school (the marriage penalty was not kind to me) but were able to dial things back a lot when I graduated.

Oh shit. I have a high school freshman. I’m not ready.

The good news (hah) is that it’s mostly the room and board portion of the scholarship that gets counted as income. I suppose fees and if it gives money for books and stuff too.

On the plus side, you can deduct some of that as well?

(For what it is worth, I know a lot of folks who didn’t report that stuff. None of them were ever audited to my knowledge.)
