Sometimes I feel like college tuitions and need based aid programs are specifically calibrated to fuck over the "upper middle class." It's completely ridiculous that households making 300K or whatever (which is barely enough to support a family in many cities in the nation) are put into the same financial aid category as billionaires (that is to say, no financial aid at all). It's a hoop that you have to jump through so that the man can keep you tied to your desk working throughout your entire life.

Outside of those 2 major cities, $300k/y for a family is more than enough.
- tstrimple 3y agoI lived comfortably in SoCal making around $160k/year with a family of 5. These were in family friendly neighborhoods with low crime and good schools, so definitely not the cheapest areas either.
