Personal finance from around the Web:

-   If you are sending a kid to college next year, this is the week financial aid offers should be arriving from colleges and universities. To help cushion the blow of what can sometimes seem a paltry sum, here's advice on [how to negotiate for more aid.](http://abcnews.go.com/Business/wireStory?id=10310546) \[ABC News\]

-   Down to the wire for filing this year? Make sure to give [these commonly forgotten tax credits](http://www.marketwatch.com/story/credits-can-bring-you-money-at-tax-time-2010-04-07) a look before you throw in the towel. \[MarketWatch\]

-   Rather than focus on the medical impact of not having health insurance, a new study [looks at the financial impact](http://www.huffingtonpost.com/d-brad-wright/going-bankrupt-over-illne_b_528124.html). And guess what? It's bad. If a member of an uninsured family is struck by illness, the household will lose 22% to 51% of assets within two years. \[The Huffington Post\]

-   Planning family vacation for summertime to cash in on cheaper flights might not be such a great money-saving device this upcoming season. Ticket prices on some travel sites are already 13.4 percent higher last summer's. [Know what constitutes a "good deal" in today's airfare pricing](http://www.dailyfinance.com/story/kiss-summer-airfare-deals-goodbye/19427416/) so you can jump on it quickly. \[Daily Finance\]

-   There's a financial-industry metaphor in here somewhere: A New York hedge fund manager [has published a children's book](http://www.cityam.com/the-capitalist/hedge-fund-boss-kicks-stink-kids) all about a Mrs. Buttkiss -- a woman who has been holding in her, uh, flatulence, for a very, very long time. \[City AM\]
