[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Think of your family -- your children and grandchildren, and the sacrifices your parents and grandparents made to get you where you are.  What some would call "privilege" (such a silly term) is most often the result of previous generations of a family thinking about future generations of the family.  [b]I spend  over $70k per year on private schools for my two children, max out my investments, but drive an old Toyota.[/b]  I'd prefer to leave more for my children and grandchildren (and to teach them to do the same, as my father taught me) than to impress you with a Jaguar or Rolex.

You are wasting your money on private schools, others prefer to waste it on nice cars. At the end, you are still spending money.
There are no evidences that children who go to private schools finish better that children who don't. 
Rich kids who went to private schools would have been rich anyway through inheritance. 
Private school is mostly a luxury. It is a way for rich folks to avoid mingling with poor people.[/quote]

PP doesn't even hear herself. P"rivilege, such a silly word. My children earned their 70k a year tuition and inheritance ..they were born into my family. Mwuuhahahha."

Sweetie, I hear myself perfectly well.  My children get the benefit of generations of work and sacrifice.  My family earned that tuition, and it is available to my children because we did not foolishly throw it away on items to impress others.  My children are part of that family.  If yours has not advanced much out of poverty, then look there for the blame, but also look to at least being the first generation to begin advancing the family's interests.  Every family started somewhere; all of our ancestors lived in dirt huts at some point.
