Ah, they don't look at your house? There you go. Take all our savings and upgrade! (while the kids are moving out...hmmm)

I guess I'd need to quit well before we apply since they look at the prior year's income. Oh hell, I don't know. I worry because my income is annoyingly unpredictable, making it hard to know how much we can save or what to expect at the time we will actually apply for aid.
