[quote=Anonymous]Some years ago we bought a lovely new SFH and a huge yard in a lovely close-knit neighborhood and the house is conveniently located near everything you could wish for. It was also quite affordable. However, the surrounding area also have lots of apartments and affordable housing and is very diverse. So, the schools are full of lower SES kids, extremely diverse (most diverse cities in USA), and rated poorly. Still, it is a part of a good public school system. We had to double down on priortizing education, enrichment, acceleration - without home-schooling, withdrawing from public schools or putting them in private schools. As a result, our kids have done very well academically in school and college, and have good careers. The money saved in housing has changed the financial trajectory of our lives as we did not have to keep up with the Jones. We have been able to provide everything that we value to our kids that only the wealthy can provide. [/quote]
