Saving for college may not hurt aid chances says Lehigh official
Bill Stanford of Lehigh University notes that saving slightly reduces aid by six cents per dollar. He explains federal aid weighs current income most, using an example where a family with 64,000 income and 10,000 savings would pay 9,700, rising to 12,348 with 20,000 more savings, only 1,128 more than no extra savings.

Mortgage interest deduction debate sulle class="headline" in election year
The debate over replacing deductions with a flat-rate income tax roils the housing sector. The National Association of Realtors cites a DRI/McGraw Hill study predicting homeowners would lose $84 billion a year in tax savings and nationwide homeowner equity could fall by $1.7 trillion, about 15 percent of home values. The CBO warns repeal could raise taxes on 28 million homeowners by about $2,100 in 1996 and lift net mortgage payments, potentially pricing some households out of their homes. Proponents argue the real impact is uncertain and cite 1986 reform as evidence. The campaign stakes are high as tax reform discourse intensifies before the next election.
