[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This might be the most out of touch thread on DCUM. And that’s saying something![/quote]

I know. It’s why so few are shocked that the op just figured this out. Instead they’re all patting themselves on the back for saving $300k per kid.

If you live in a small town or suburb in most of America your family home probably cost $350k 10 years ago (except the 10 major metro areas) and your family with 2-4 kids survives on a hhi of around $80k. If mom or dad went to college it was a in state public. There isn’t $500 a month per kid to sock away in a 529. And even if there was, the prevailing culture there is that it’s the parents job to get the kids through high school…after that they’re on their own. The dmv is a weird place.[/quote]
It's not just the DMV. It's any well educated, UMC area around the country.[/quote]

I feel like the other ones I’ve lived jn (Seattle, San Diego, Dallas) the umc people have a better understanding of the lives of the people around them. The dmv can feel like the capital city in the hunger games.[/quote]

This is definately true!  
Scum and San Fran area were the entire places to live where everyone is keeping up with the Jones and it's so competitive.  Seattle is not like that at all and it's refreshing [/quote]
