Ex-Marine and University of Wisconsin-Madison junior Jake Warner gets a monthly check for $1,185, enough to cover his living expenses ($510 for rent $250 necessities) plus four 30-packs of Miller High Life. But, he says, â??you canâ??t survive off just the GI Bill.â? After financial aid, his tuition bill ends up around $2,000 a semester. He tutors a seventh grader to make up the difference.
