Right. deep breath.
Please be kind.
I have been way too scared to think about the realities of this. I have just rung Student Finance Wales, though, so it's a start.
I know DS is very lucky because he will only be liable for about 3 1/2k a year tuition fees. TBH I'm more concerned about how much parental contribution we'll need to pay. The nice lady said he's be ok for a the minimum maintainance loan of about 3 1/2 k.
Does anyone know how much family income you have to have to make it not worth your while to go down the means testing route please?
Assuming we wouldn't get more of a loan if we did apply, please would anyone be able to give me a ball park figure for how much we may need to find? I know it's like saying how long is a piece of string. DS hoping to go to Manchester.
And do I just double it when DS2 goes in Sept 2014? And then stop paying the mortgage!
