[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In our case - both sets of grandparents are also paying, we only have two kids, and we can live comfortably from the lowest salary, so we also pay as he goes for DC1's med school. We make almost 500K/year and we moved to a lower COL area, so our mortgage is low.   [/quote]
This is either a troll or one of the most tone deaf posts I've ever read on DCUM![/quote]

It is real life, we are dime a dozen. My parents are from a culture that encourages savings and modest living. My ILs are the typical white, former MC boomers who benefited from cheap college education, abundance of well-paid jobs, great market returns, and continuous increases in real estate value. We went to great schools, had lucrative careers from the beginning, and delayed parenting until we were established at work and I could request flexibility. I stayed in the same industry and worked 10-12 hour days for decades until I had my kids in my early 40s. The kids went to public school until college. [/quote]
