[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it’s insane that our $250K family did not get 1 penny FA for a $60K/year school.

We were also not always $250K family, we were closer to $160/year, then $180K for a few years. Plus the $250 includes one of us having 2 jobs.

My H is a cop and I was a GS-13 most our lives so we could not really save that much.[/quote]

It's absurd to characterize 250k families as privileged in 2023. After taxes, there is not much left.[/quote]

Yes, it is. Median household income in the United States is under $71K.[b] It’s no one else’s fault that you *chose* to live in one of the most expensive housing markets in the country.

DCUM’s ideas about income are delusional.[/quote]

Most people live where they can get jobs and/or close to their family.  [/quote]

NYC is not the only place to get jobs. And not everyone gets to continue to live close to family in an insanely expensive area just because they super duper want to.[/quote]

NP.  Sure but there are *more* jobs in higher cost of living places like NYC.  I say this as someone trying to find a job somewhere lower cost of living so I can leave the DC area (where my current job is fixed).  I'm filtering out big cities I can't afford like NYC, San Francisco, Toronto, Vancouver and suddenly the jobs available for my skillset go from thousands to tens.  Most of the jobs are in places I can't afford to live.[/quote]
