And many dollars short.
I seem to have been born a little too late.
First the chicken pox vaccine, then the HPV vaccine and now this.
Wow, I could have gone ivy:
"Parents in families with incomes of less than $60,000 will no longer be expected to contribute to the cost of their children attending Harvard. In addition, Harvard will reduce the contributions of families with incomes between $60,000 and $80,000."
Of course, then my accent would be all screwed up. Whew, dodged a big one there!

Now that we have spent every last dollar we had at St. Louis University, we qualify for Harvard.
You know what? I just noticed that that quote is grammatically incorrect.
It should be "their children's attending Harvard." Attending is a gerund, which functions as a noun and thus deserves a correct possessive in front of it.
It is, granted, one of the more tedious rules.
But, sheesh, it's supposed to be Harvard; you would think extra rigors would be applied.
Maybe the ivy league is not all it's cracked up to be.
Perhaps I should. buy a firearm after all, eh?
