<p>Indeed. Let me rephrase. I do save (and I reiterate that I am not a thrifty person), so I find it surprising that anyone making anything in the vicinity of what I make isn’t able to save as well. If someone making 70 percent more than I make in a year can’t save, I find that shocking, truly. I have a mortgage, I go on nice vacations, I eat out too much, I fritter away plenty of cash. But there’s money in my kid’s college fund. But, whatever. Some people can’t or don’t save. I didn’t want to have a state school be our only option (and, as it is, the state flagship in Illinois is no bargain). But, I mean, really! Can we please not pretend $150K to $200K a year is not a comfortable income? Sure, it’s relative, but if you make that kind of money and have the feeling you’re struggling, look around a little bit, and not at your next door neighbor’s house.
