[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People who claim donut hole and are angry that they only have 130k in an account —are you also stomping your feet that you can’t afford the 2M mansions in the other town? Do you ping away at what you cannot have? Or are you happy that you have a good home in a solid town. Because you are indeed able to afford a good education via state universities. I swear college admissions is the only area where this nonsense comes into play. For everything else in life you buy what you can afford in your budget and move one. Why do you think you are entitled to a high priced private college. You have 100s even 1000s of colleges available to you via public universities. [/quote]

It depends.Are the sellers offering the same $2 million mansion to my underemployed screen writer neighbor for $250,000?[/quote]

So in reality,  you are annoyed that some really smart kid who has had a much harsher/difficult life for the last 18 years is getting an opportunity to break out and greatly improve their life.  An opportunity that for them will drastically change their life and mean your tax dollars may not have to help support them (and by default some of their family) in the future.  
You could choose to live with only $75K income in DC for 18 years and then you and your kid would also have that opportunity.

Or you can take the many advantages you have had in life (if you are "donut hole" you live better than 90% of people in USA) and recognize that.  And instead be mad at yourself that you chose not to save for what you want, when you did have the opportunity.
