[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly , the COL is going way up, it’s really hard to buy a house and replicate a UMC lifestyle. The people who can do it while working regular jobs in a big city have family money: cover house down payment, no burdensome student loans, maybe inherit someone’s car etc [/quote]

In this case we aren't talking about serious family money. We are just talking about the kids coming from stable boomer families that saved. [/quote]

I wish I understood this more. I came from a LMC family but my parents would be give me the shirt off their backs. They don’t have much but are willing to help anyway they can. My in-laws are UMC frugal boomers worth millions and we won’t see a cent until they die. If we go to their house and they order Chinese, we have to split the bill with them. [/quote]

Are you trying to argue that your parents are more noble because they are poor and, therefore, don’t help but theoretically would if they could? Are you the guy sending money to your poor but noble parents instead of saving for your kids’ college?  You do realize how ridiculous that sounds, right? Also, when you say "we won’t see a cent," it suggests that you feel entitled to your in-laws' money. You are not entitled to it, and you never will be, just as I'm sure you don't intend to leave whatever legacy you have to your kids’ future ex-spouses. [/quote]

Ugh. This. [/quote]
