[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The military officers we know are cheapskates when it comes to their kid's college education, but renovate their kitchens multiple times and will own 2 newer SUVs. [/quote]

Totally and completely agree. Not must military though. I see that in all. $1M+ houses plus renovations and expensive cars, trips, clothes but will justify not spending for children’s education

We are saving for college. Not saving properly for college is not limited to military. We know physicians who struggle paying for private colleges.

Anyone who is middle or even UMC may have difficulty saving hundreds of thousands of dollars for children’s college. Many don’t have proper retirement savings either. This has nothing to do with the military. You can always wonder how Sally or John have such an expensive house. Maybe they overspent on the house. Maybe they went into debt. Maybe a rich grandmother passed away and they received an inheritance.

We live in Mclean. I don’t wonder who has and who doesn’t. We live below our means and send our kids to public school. We travel a lot. I don’t care who thinks we are saving or not. We did a 500k home renovation. [/quote]
