[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You sound mad that other people’s parents have helped them out?? Most parents who can help their kids get ahead financially will do it. Congrats to you for getting ahead in life without a leg up but I am not sure why you are so upset about other people’s financial situations [/quote]

Not upset. Just stating facts.

As someone else pointed out earlier:

I have lived all over the country and this is more predominant here than anywhere else I have lived.[/quote]

I think this is so true. If there's another place in this country with even more reliance on family wealth, feel free to let us know. [/quote]

I do think that DC attracts smart, charismatic trustfundarians who want to work in nonprofits, foundations, etc. There must be tons of generational wealth in NYC. It is much bigger population-wise, so I would think more folks are living on the dole there than here.[/quote]

Go on the subway in NYC and it will disabuse you of the general level of wealth in NYC. Once you get out of a few choice neighborhoods in Manhattan and Brooklyn, you realize that most of NYC is broke-@ss poor.  NYC - like Miami - is a barbell distribution of wealth, whereas the DMV has been known for decades as having the highest median wealth. [/quote]
