[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Always amazes me how people like OP feel entitled to other people's things.[/quote] OP here: we actually saved a six figure down-payment and closing costs without any family help. Paid for our own wedding too. Also paid off our student loans. But we got "lucky" by pivoting multiple times in our careers for better jobs, striving for big promotions, etc. Vast majority of our friends who had a similar profile as us - i.e., had to pay for their own house, their own wedding, their own student loans - had to leave the area completely or moved very far out to make it work. So, no, I do not feel entitled to other people's things. But it wasn't until our kid was in school that we really had no idea how "things really work" in nicer DMV neighborhoods. [/quote] This is how things work in a variety of aspects when you come from an upper middle class/rich background. [/quote]
