[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I grew up near Villanova and had an idyllic childhood without the obsession of DC, so know exactly what you're talking about. My husband grew up here, went to Big 3 and an Ivy League school. I begged for years to move to PA where we could live normally, but he would not consider it. For him, it's top 20 for our kids or they have failed. He actually said once, something along the lines of: "that way they never have to be embarrassed about telling anybody where they went to college. They can always hold their head high." I let him know that I have never once felt embarrassed about where I went and did he not realize that I am not remotely impressed by where he went either (I'm actually the main bread winner). It's insane. I hear you.[/quote]

If you grew up in Villanova with an idyllic childhood, you already had money.[b] So you don’t need a top school or a top job— you can live off your inheritance.[/b] People strive to get out of the lower class so they too can buy a home in Villanova and give their kids an idyllic childhood. It’s easier if your kids aren’t competing against these strivers, so please send them to St. Joe’s.[/quote]
LOL!!!! I can live off my "inheritance"? Where do I find said inheritance? Please advise![/quote]
