[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]“Poor” can be poor for different families. Yes but $400 k in DC area is poor as these schools are also very expensive like over $50,000 per year. And DC area has so much money…not sure how it is in NYC or LA private schools. [/quote]

No, even in DC, $400,000.00 is not poor. Pop that bubble.  Get some perspective. [/quote]

Yes, she is writing from the perspective of someone who is not in the upper range of income (ie, poorer than) as compared to other families who are full-pay at private schools in the area. [/quote]

Yeah - most folks see “poor” as an absolute status and so recoil when it’s used relatively.  But we all know what folks means and what’s the harm on this forum? Now, if you go to across the river to southeast DC and start talking about how $400K is “poor” that’s a different story.  But no reason to coddle the sensibilities of aggrieved “just” UMC folks, ie folks like me that remain far south of 400K. I’m blessed and good. [/quote]
