[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you want to be surrounded by rich people, and I mean truly rich, SSSAS is the way to go.  It’s for people willing to pay top dollar for meh because they don’t really care.[/quote]
We have &gt;$200 HHI and picked SSSAS because it was an excellent fit for DC, who is 2e, and who has excelled in an academic environment that challenges the giftedness and supports the learning difference. DC’s friends do mostly have more money than we do (an opinion based solely on what I’ve seen of their homes) but not overwhelmingly so. [b]Certainly not what anyone on DCUM, which skews wealthy but tries to downplay it, [/b]would call “truly rich.” I’m sure there are families there with that much wealth, just as there are at, say, the Cathedral schools, but there are also kids being picked up in beat-up old Hondas, and everything in between.

I think most of the people trying to appear ultra wealthy on here are full of it. They’re “up playing” it to the max, not for playing it. [/quote]
And yet there are so many who make $500k, $800k and still bemoan how hard it is to send Larla to private school. Those are the folks I mean. [/quote]
