[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not to beat a dead horse but I had no car in high school. Suburban MA where you could really use one. Got rides from parents and bummed off of friends. Was annoying as hell. Parents saved and sacrificed - never went on vacation except to grandparents- and paid for me to go to private high school and Duke with no FA on 100k HHI. It’s a matter of choices.[/quote]

Please stop with the car. That wasn’t op. And as the poster who talked about a car for my senior, we did not buy her one. She got a hand me down because she needed one in order to attend a FCPS academy program. They provided a bus the prior 2 years, but because her class was at the beginning of the day this year, FCPS does not provide an academy bus at that time. Me driving her back and forth would conflict with getting her younger sister to school and me getting to work. There is no one to ride share with and public transport isn’t possible. My husband bought himself a used vehicle over the summer, but then one of the other 2 vehicles we already had died. Unexpected 2nd car payment. It sucks, but such is life.

$100k today would get you free tuition at lots of schools, so good for those folks. We make about double that, we ARE saving into retirement and 529s. We have made choices as best as we can. Life sometimes throws you curveballs.[/quote]
