[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Two. But they both had family elsewhere and it was a sahm and an attorney so they went to a lower col so they could make it work for their 3 children on one salary and not insane hours. The other set were teachers and family up north with an extra house they could live in rent free. Most of my other friends are from here and have family ties for at least one spouse and have usually one fed in the couple at a pretty high level. [/quote]

Our family friend was also a fed which may explain why she had to wait 4 long years for a transfer.
With all of the money she wasted on the rent she could have paid for both of her children's college educations.

I don't know what college you are thinking of, but no, $100,000 will not pay for two kids' college educations. It costs money to live everywhere - the notion that a person is "wasting" money on rent is ludicrous.
