[quote=Anonymous]Nice takedown on Gabler's piece in Slate. http://www.slate.com/articles/business/the_bills/2016/04/neal_gabler_s_atlantic_essay_is_part_of_an_old_aggravating_genre_the_sad.html I don't begrudge him sending his children to private schools in NYC and then Stanford and Emory. His Stanford daughter is a Rhodes Scholar. Frankly, I'd be pretty happy to give up lots of my financial security to help my DCs achieve their highest possible potentials. What I don't understand is why he doesn't rent out the Hamptons house in the summer for $10k/week and summer in some inexpensive mountain cabin. Or just move to one of the cool emerging small cities Boulder, Boise, Des Moines or Burlington where $1000/month rents still go very far. He could have upper middle class status, be a local celebrity among well-educated neighbors who read his pieces, teach a couple adjunct classes, and have lots of interns/research assistants for free.
