    My son married in a Vietnamese Christian church and the service was both English and Vietnamese. Plus I was asked to get u,p along with the brides pop and say a few words, to the congregation.
    They had a money gift thing going, I guess similar to money tree and they received a huge amount.
    I guess the Vietnamese dont do wedding or baby showers they give after/or during the event.

    In a more perfect world it would be the college grads making the most money would would pay the lion's share of the taxes that would help the college students and not the underprivileged working class.

    Guys - I’m in a tough spot and could use some advice!

    I went to a CC and now on my way to a 4 year university.

    I already deferred my repayments this winter and with my recent acceptance into a 4 year university I definitely need to defer again - at least during the first year as I get a strong foothold on my new situation. What are my options?

    Talk to your university's financial aid advisor. They will have much better and more up to date information then most on here will. They will also have scholarship, grants, and work study options that would apply directly for your situation.

    Lifelong debt seems to be the short answer……..scholarships and grants if available and you are eligible. Rich parents? You could always join the military………. :cool2:
