[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The lifestyles people want to live now (affluent town, 2+ expensive vacations a year, camps, preschools, thousands of dollars/year in children’s activities / enrichment, pool club, 2 nice cars, DoorDash / frequent dining out, funding private college, etc) have always been for the affluent. The merely UMC can scrimp and save and have just the home in the affluent neighborhood OR they can have some of the above and live in a less affluent neighborhood. I grew up in a wealthy NYC burb in a house with no central AC and we didn’t take a flying vacation until my sister was 10 and I was 5, and we ate 99% of our meals at home. “Well off” then was more modest than it is now. Anyway - we moved to a college town in the Midwest and feel like we can “have it all” here- except the fancy zip code.[/quote] well said. [/quote]
