This.

There's a popular adage in VA that I hear from folks with 200-300k HHI who live in $1.5m+ mcmansions:

"We will just send our kids to UVA."

"UVA" will evolve into whatever is the best state college they can get into.  Not every snowflake in a new build will get into UVA.  So yeah, I anticipate it will just get more and more competitive at VA universities, and it's driven by the high housing prices.[/quote]

If you earn [b]200k hhi and are living in a $1.5 million house[/b] [b]you have big financial issues[/b].[/quote]

You don't know that, PP.

We have a 200K HHI and our house has NO mortgage, nor do we have any car loans or other loans, and we are paying for our kids college without FA.  Our house is not quite $1.5mil -- more like $1.2mil.  So I don't think we have "big financial issues."  I think YOU have issues understanding finances if you think people can't live responsibly and have a decent house.  You assume that a person who earns $200K must have a gigantic mortgage in order to afford their home.... which maybe is a reflection of your financial decisions.

No it isn’t.  I was perhaps thinking that the post referred to buying such s house on that relatively low income.[/quote]
