The fact that it is still under heavy consideration by TM and his family is all the evidence you need. If they didn't think it could be handled one way or the other, we would not be in limbo right now

And it is not a done deal at the moment, is it? Has it occurred to you that perhaps one of the reasons it is not yet a done deal could be that they are working on those same options you keep mentioning to make sure they can swing it?

And I also get it all isn't due at one time either.

Okay, so what's the deadline for applying for an installment plan?

I DO NOT THINK THAT IT COULD BECOME A PROBLEM..AT ALL, WHATSOEVER.

Okay, so you are just ignorant. Lots of families who once upon a time were able to pay $7k a year in private school tuition are at a later date not able to afford college tuition, even with time to plan and prepare. Medical expenses from serious illnesses, job loss, legal expenses from unrelated legal issues, all sorts of things could make this an issue. Some people just assume nothing will ever go wrong for people they like, and other people hope for that to be the case. The ones who hope for it to be the case still recognize that it may not be.

quote:
Your explanation to validate concerns on whether or not TM's family can pay for a year of tuition is not based off of their current actions and is not based off of their known financial history or track record,

And neither is your assumption that they will automatically be able to cover this expense with no difficulty or question. Paying $7k in private school tuition DOES NOT MEAN THEY CAN AFFORD COLLEGE TUITION NOW. How do you not get that? And you -- like the rest of us -- don't know jack shite about the rest of his family's circumstances. You assume that all is well. That's great. Some of us realize that it might not be, and are hoping for the best for them. What's stupid is that you have some sort of problem with people who hope for the best for Tyrann's family.

when I drive to work I have concern that a car may run a light and hit me

That's an odd concern for someone to have that doesn't recognize potential concerns like financial downturn, family illnesses or surprise expenses. But, whatever floats your boat.

Just a question, but when people who've just heard that their friend was involved in a car accident say, "gosh, I hope they weren't injured," do you bitch at them and call them racist just because they haven't heard any specific notification that their friends were injured? Do you just have a pet peeve about people expressing concern for others who have just suffered an unexpected misfortune?

No, because I do not usually consider an unlikely possibility when there are probably HUNDREDS more likely possibilities.

If I come home and notice my front door has been kicked in, I do not start to consider the possibility that my daughter's stuffed animals were just attacked by a gang of Ninja's hanging out in Mandeville either.

I do get that. I understand that someones financial history does not provide the absolute best insight into their current situation. What you don't understand is that in this situation, it provides our best, and only insight into their ability to pay or rectify the situation.

Their track record and history does not give any reason for concern, but the NASDAQ does? By having concern for something like this you are giving more weight into what could be rather than into what was and what is likely now.

Is it possible they are dead broke, with credit scores in the low 200's, but based off of their track record and current actions, that's not likely and again, I try to not make a habit out of worrying about what isn't likely if there are other more plausible possibilities.
