[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]10:18, I commend your choices, and my family has made similar choices. But one federal worker plus one not-for-profit worker means HHI in the range of $150K (very low ball) to easily over $200k. If this is "poor" and you are one of the few on this boat at your school, then SES diversity is truly lacking at your school.[/quote] 10:18 said her family was one of the "poorest" of the FULL PAY families at the school, which sounds about right. Families with HHI under $150,000 may get at least modest financial aid. We are another of those families and our experience is the same. Kids are well-liked, we are welcomed, lots of invitations for the kids. Our kids certainly notice the differences in spending, but also know that it is because of choices we make, which reflect our values. One DC has a pretty wealthy group of friends, the other a pretty middle-class group, so income isn't driving the friendships.[/quote]
