You don't know the specifics of my situation and you don't know what you are talking about. We have a mortgage on one home, drive 10yo cars, and have never taken our kids abroad on vacation. There are a lot of people like us in this area. $225K in DC is not the same as $225K in Tulsa, but the EFC calculator does not take that into account.

Tuition increases make affording school a huge problem for the vast majority of people, even the upper middle class.

Exactly. Any movement to get them to put in cost differentials for different cities? [/quote]

Why should they? We lived in DC and then left. My dh then had an offer to move back to DC. The housing costs were out of control. The salary may have been slightly higher in DC, but not enough to justify blowing the budget on housing. We stayed put in an area with reasonable housing costs. Living in an area that has a high cost for housing is a choice. [/quote]
