Only Ava (age 9) is going to camp this year.\n- Income: $68,500 last year. (I almost wrote $72,000, but that included a one-time bonus that the form says not to count. Without it: $68,500.)\n- My husband was out of work for 3 months this spring. Hard year.\n- Ava went last year and loved the swim program.","rules":[{"type":"maxWords","max":70}],"mistakes":[{"title":"Trusting the AI to count words","why":"AI is bad at counting.
