[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Middle class people do not own $1.8m houses. Nor do they spend $24,000 on preschool. Or $2,000 a month on food. What a stupid article. [/quote] Assuming preschool means daycare for a 4 year old, $24k is about right inside beltway. If it’s 3 days a week with limited hours yeah that’s wrong. [/quote] Not really though. [b]We send DD to an expensive program and it costs more like $18K[/b]. $24K is what full-time infant care often costs. Food is more like $1,000/month, including going out over the weekend. [/quote]\ But that is an EXPENSIVE PROGRAM. Not targeted to someone who is middle class. If you are middle class and you want to spend that tuition for your preschooler, then you are making some sacrifices elsewhere. You're not "Scraping by" you are prioritizing one thing at the expense of others.[/quote]
