My son is due to go off to uni this year, but we are now extremely worried about whether we can afford it, as my DH may lose his job in the coming months. In applying for student finance we need to declare our income, which has dropped and may drop again, so we do not know what figure to put down. Most people I know top up their children's finances by £300-£400 per month. There is no way we will be able to do that, the way things are heading.
Does anyone have any advice as to how we do this? My son will be devastated if he cannot go, but says he understands. I wish we had saved more!!
