[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ah.  So now I really have no idea what your point is with regard to me, my family, our retirement accounts and our FA. We make wayyyyy less than $150k. So... yay? You approve I guess?[/quote]
The discussion today all started because I took issue with this comment from another PP:  "Most people that may be able to afford tuition, but only without saving anything or moving to a worst neighnorhood (most people that make between $150-200k) would likely end up not choosing the school. So the school gives incentives (FA) to retain some... it makes for a better school."

What baffled me was this notion that having more families making $150K to $200K -- upper class in the DC area by any objective measure -- would somehow make the student body any more diverse.

As I just mentioned before, real diversity would be to give families like yours (if you do in fact make "wayyyyy less than $150k") enough FA to attend private.  Not the fake diversity of more top 10 to 20 percent families.[/quote]

Nah,  you were hammering on me for daring to have a retirement account way before that  partcular discussion started.  I'll remind you: BUT WHAT ABOUT THE PEIPLE WHO DONT EVEN HAVE RETIREMENT ACCOUNTS?????   You made no mention that was OK with you as long as we made under 100K – or perhaps you assume that the only people who make over 150K save for retirement?

Your point was unclear then and is unclear now.[/quote]
