[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am the PP poster - I agree - I am saying I am NOT a donut hole family - and that peers who are whining about colllege at that level are ridiculous.[/quote]
Who is whining about college at 700K? Haven't seen it.

Donut hole depends on number of kids. 300K for 1 kid is a lot different than 300K for 3 or 4.[/quote]

3-4 kids vs. 1 is a lifestyle choice.[/quote]

Exactly. Don't have kids you can't pay for. I only feel for those who have unexpected twins. Everyone else should keep their pants on. Not my job to subsidize your libido.[/quote]
Couldn’t this he said about a lot
of things, though? Not my job to subsidize a SAHM, to subsidize someone who doesn’t work to their full earning capacity, to subsidize someone who chooses a higher COL area, to subsidize someone who has a car loan, to subsidize someone who chose a non-lucrative major in college so can’t afford for their kids to be full pay now, etc…..[/quote]

Nobody has ever subsidized me as a SAHP---please explain how that has happened?  
Nobody has ever subsidized us because we live in a HCOLA, we are just forced to budget better and make more choices than if we lived in Nebraska.

And nope, we don't subsidize kids to go to college.  Schools like Harvard get to decide who they admit and who they will give aid to.  That is not subsidizing.  [/quote]

There are lots of reasons why people are SAHP's.  No one is subsidizing them.  And, full earning potential.  Do you want teachers, babysitters, day care workers, social workers, police, and other helping professions to quit and earn more?  Then who takes care of your kids?  We need those in lower paying jobs and yes, they should get aid.

As a SAHP, we have gotten zero help.  I stayed home as I could not afford child care on my salary.  I stayed home as my MIL became ill and she/we could not afford to pay for help.  I stayed home later because of my serious health issues.  We have never gotten anything from anyone. [/quote]
