The fact that you say this, even though I already know it to be the case will never stop being crazy to me. I grew up in Greenwich Village, with parents who made just under half what you do now in todays dollars. Growing up I had a private baby sitter for my brother and I, lived in a building with a doorman, the apartment was okay (faced the back on a lower floor, and only had washing in the buildings basement). Apartment was 2 bed/2 bath with an additional loft. My family could afford to go out and do all sorts of things, in addition to still save aggressively. I did go to public school. The fact that a couple in a much better financial position can't even come close to having the above today is insane.
