[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wrote the first statement here and I use middle class as a short hand for the middle income set in terms of looking at financial aid.  I agree with your larger point that what people in this area tend to think of as a middle class is really wealthy by most any measure.  Your point does highlight, a little, my larger point, which is that some of the venom in threads like these is that so many of us come at these issues with different language to describe ranges of income and socio-economic status.

What irks me about these type of posts is when people who make so much money and have assets they won't or "can't" touch think they are somehow entitled to FA. I see that if you are new to private schools, you wouldn't understand that schools get their financial aid funds from other parents. [/quote]
Exactly.  All else being equal, to me a family with a $300K HHI sending their kids to public is just as upper class as a family with a $300K HHI who has instead chosen to send their kids to private.  The latter may feel less "upper class" or "rich," but that was their freely chosen path.[/quote]
