[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Income isn't the only variable.  Assets matter too, as well as a host of other factors (special situations such as substantial medical expenses, special needs child, etc.).  Those who were both in a position to start saving early, and in fact did save early, may still find it possible.

[b]If a college isn't affordable, then find another college.  Elite privates are not the only way to skin the cat.  No one is entitled to an elite private, nor is that necessary for success.  There is always another way.[/b][/quote]

Now apply that logic to poor people and minorities. Let ‘em all go to community college, right?

The OP is simply arguing for a redefinition of “poor”.[/quote]

you clearly don't know what poor means. Even CC is out of reach for the truly poor.

Ivies are out of reach for me at full price and I make $240k. So in the context of this discussion, I am poor.[/quote]
