[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, big tickets items like a college education and a home have become unaffordable.  People feel like they can't get ahead.
This is why the birthrate in America has dropped to a historic low.

No, college education is not unaffordable.  Community college and the cheapest state school you can find.  Totally doable for families making 100K a year HHI.  I do agree that for families living in poverty (HHI under 40K) any money towards school is nearly impossible.  [/quote]

Depending on the major and quality of the school, community college is not always the best option.  Maybe community colleges are really stellar around here, but they weren’t where I grew up.  I took a couple summer classes there but the quality paled in comparison to my regular college and the course offerings in my field (biology) were terrible.  My sister on the other hand pursued criminal justice (followed by the police academy) and community college was a great choice for her.[/quote]
