Why would tuition at USC be setting the standard for middle class life in DC? So random. Why do you just want to be in panic mode constantly?

No, it’s not.

This just in: you can be rich and still not afford everything you want. In fact, most rich people still can’t afford everything they want. Money is finite.

"Weird that my house in a good school district cost 620k, and is still worth less than a million. It is on a busy road. I guess that makes me lower class?"

You can’t believe that is true, can you? Plenty of us live in places with good schools with homes that cost well under $2m.

And USC is not a school for the middle class.

USC cost of attendance recently hit $90k, and other colleges aren’t far behind. If you have 3 kids you need to save at minimum $1M in 529s for undergrad. $90,000 x 3 kids x 4 years. Daycare is at minimum $3k/month, so $36k per year per kid of daycare. A house in a good school district is $2M at minimum. And so on.
