[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]“ spend 75K comfortably out of pocket or savings while affording a single family home in a decent neighborhood with good schools (forget private). Especially for multiple children”

Who on earth thinks that they are entitled to these things? Why should affording  in college be comfortable? It’s a big purchase, something  you work towards, save towards, and pay off for years afterward. Seems like you think that you’re entitled to it without any lifestyle changes at all.

Maybe  you can only afford it if you don’t have a single family home in a decent neighborhood with good schools. Maybe you can only afford it if you live in a townhouse, send your kids to charter schools and give some other stuff up.

I hardly see that as an American tragedy. [/quote]

OP is just pointing out that those things were attainable in prior generations.  Are you disagreeing with that, or are you just lecturing OP that she needs to suck it up because no one cares that these changes have occurred?[/quote]
