[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You people are so disgusting. DH and I are researchers at NIH and both have our PHDs. The only reason our kids have passports is because we send them back to India for the summer to stay with family because we cannot afford camps and round the clock summer care for them. No, it is not "standard" that kids hike the Inca trail. Most American kids haven't even been to Canada, Mexico, or even on a domestic flight. It is not standard that a kid have a fully funded 529.[/quote]

[b]Around here?[/b] Yes it’s really common for kids to have fat 529s and to have been to Peru on vacation or similar. Sorry if that disturbs you but it is what it is. [/quote]
Correction: in YOUR little slice of "around here." Not "around here" as a whole. For every NW/Bethesda/McLean/N Arlington type, there are even more SE DC/Gaithersburg/Germantown/PWC/Annandale etc. types don't even have 529s, let alone well-funded ones, and for whom vacation is a drive to visit the grandparents or OCMD or King's Dominion.

Again, you live in a bubble. Which is fine. But the fact that you think this is normal on a large scale proves that you are very sheltered. It may be normal in your type of circle, but your type of circle is only a tiny sliver of metropolitan Washington, DC. [/quote]
