[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm so sick of the lack of sympathy people have on this board for people who seem to be doing the right things.

The mom who works to help save up for college is penalized, while the SAHM's family gets financial aid. [b]And the response is, "well, quit your job then!"

Or, "Move out of DC!" (This is a DC site. Take your hate elsewhere) Or "Don't marry another Fed!" [/b]

These are all hard-working people realizing the game is rigged. It should be okay to hate the game, but you insist on hating the people trying to play fair.

I've never heard any of this on DCUM. People are just honest, in that, you are not some sacrificial lamb, because you have an upper middle class salary and can afford college, but chose to live above your means. I am sympathetic to recently upper middle class families, but often, there are people complaining on here who've made HHI of $300-500k for the past 8 years and expect the rest of us to cry about their difficulty with a budget.[/quote]

Telling people on a DC site that they're stupid for living in DC is practically a pastime here.
