[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This thread is so stupid. I make $150,000 a year and I feel very rich (though with no kids).  That doesn’t mean I have no limitations on my spending, and someone who makes $850,000 a year we also have limitations on their spending.

I’m Republican but threads like this pull me somewhat more leftward. Above a relatively moderate income/net worth, money just becomes, at best, about these trivialities or, worse, about greed and status-chasing.[/quote]

Did you read the lady’s post? You cannot provide a strong education and a room for every kid in a safe part of NYC on 850k. She’s not asking for a private jet and house on Jupiter Island, more just the bare minimum. [/quote]

That’s not rue about not being able to find a safe neighborhood.    The majority of neighborhoods are safe in NYC.   Just don’t move into the projects.

Not everyone can afford a separate room for each kid. If she can’t it’s not a big deal.

The education part is trickier but research will help.

One example is Astoria Queens.  She can buy a nice home in Astoria on her salary and easily afford a 3-4 bedrooms. It’s safe.    I have a feeling she’s not really feeling the diversity over there.

It’s all about what she thinks she’s entitled to.  [/quote]
