Question: EFC not calculated for financial aid, Income & adj income wrong?

When I submitted my FAFSA it said …

“You verified that either you paid the same amount or more in taxes than your Adjusted Gross Income (AGI), or your parents paid the same amount or more in taxes than their Adjusted Gross Income (AGI). Therefore, we cannot calculate an estimated Expected Family Contribution (EFC). You must contact your Financial Aid Administrator (FAA).”

I filled out a 1040, Im 24 so I’m an Independent now.
I filed my taxes. I made $3159 in wages, and $7705 in unemployment. My total income states $10,864 on line 22. Under Adjusted Gross Income on line 37 it states $10,864.
Is this right? or did my tax preparer screw up? Whats gonna happen now?
Any help it appreciated

Question: How to save £150,000 in 5 years time?

Hi, I just started my job as a graduate. My net income after tax & NI is approximately £25,000 now and gross salary increases average 10% every year. I can also work as a freelance translator and expected average income is £5000 per year. I live in London and I save about £1,000a month. I have a few plans and I need at least £150,000 in 5 years time to make it. How can I make that much without taking a risk of stock trading etc? Also what’s the best way to increase my income level? currently i work as a financial analyst for an energy company and studying accounting qualification but I don’t want to be in finance too long. what would be the best way to save that much or more and to be rich in general? one day I want to have my own business, but I don’t have a clear idea at the moment.

Answer: In today’s market, and with the UK’s tax structure, I would consider this an admirable but unattainable goal.

Fortunes are built like walking the road from London to Scotland…. one step at a time.
