Wife and I are both engineers, no kids
Total household income (on paper) is $128k/year.
She's got her masters, i'm wrapping up mine. Looking for a new gig to get paid what I'm actually worth. Could go up to $140-$147k/year.
The truck is her toy. I just borrow it to haul mine around

When ever somebody asks me what I make, I tell them to get the paper at the end of the Fiscal year, All of our salaries are posted for everybody to see, some of the tax payers get pissed when they see a public servant makin 90-100K a year, & I tell them, you have no clue how much we had to work to make that!..........

College is roughly 3 hours a night and work is 8 or 9 so that makes sense. When I was in high school in 10 grade I had school for 6 hours and worked for 8 hours during the day and my weekends working 14 hours as I worked at a warehosue fixing the cheap quads and chinese bikes and stuff making 10 under the table. All I did was work, school and sleep. Also I slept in some of my classes so I made up for it there and didnt hurt my gpa either.

I can use the excess funds from grants and scholarships however I want. They give you a budget, which is a rough estimate of your daily expenses, and determine your financial need from there. This was from 2006-2007, so it's a bit dated amount, but you get the idea. Any funds I dont use for tuition and books gets paid to me directly after the fourth week of class. (they write me a check for whats left over) This award letter only affects grants and loans, scholarships are an entirely different story. The money you receive isn't regulated, it's sent to you as a check for deposit, and whos to say I can't spend some of my money on a nice truck? As long as you make the grade, that's all that matters. I have a 3.9 gpa with 3 years under my belt, 2 years away from my bachelors in nursing, and another 3 away from my masters.
If the money is there, why not take it? Don't I deserve it just as much as the next guy?
