Once again semantics, maybe you meant middle of the road upper class. Only a small sliver of upper middle class people people touch a quarter million a year let alone have it to give away to get their kid into a school. If you have a half a ticket to just throw around to get your kid into a school, before you even pay for school, you are rich. Now there are levels to being rich, but you are rich. 1% income is what, just below 450k a year this cycle?
I agree and get what you’re saying I just wana be clear because I think a lot of people are quick to lump this as the 1%’ers. I’m specifically referencing families with incomes between 200-350k/yr. Which is what I’ve found to be people whose parents had “traditional middle class” family incomes of 75-150k, that are willing to do anything to make sure their kids don’t slide back down to that income level. Parents who went to X law school or Y Med school don’t want billy to be an accountant slugging 60k at pwc, they want him to go Finance at Harvard and walk into wall st at 200. Them shelling out 250-500 is a massive sacrifice, but to them it’s worth it.
