I was thinking the exact same thought. Too many people want to have it all now and are not prepared to work for it. My husband grew up in a very well to do area where just about everybody (except a few including my husband) sent there children to private schools. The dearer the better. It was to show others how wealthy the family was. Of course the big house came as part of the package. DH went to one house and they only had living room furniture. Secretly he looked, ok spied, at the other areas of the house and they were all bare. No carpets even. Bedrooms were a mattress on the floor and cardboard boxes for their personal items. Cost of schooling for the 3 children was $30,000 a year and that was primary school in 1986!!
