@sh76 saidYou're a responsible parent, no doubt. You might consider that New York ranks 12th in overall public-school education. Perhaps these private schools you're paying for are not so much better. In addition, Paul McCarney's children went to public school and turned out just fine. "Going to the normal local comprehensive was one of the best things that could have happened to me," Stella McCartney later said. "It was healthy to see how most people in the world live."
You can't think of it by the hour. If you do, of course it's impossible to make big money unless you're a highly skilled personal service provider (such as a big firm lawyer or psychiatrist). If you're making stuff and you're getting paid by the hour, you're middle-class.
My jobs are simple enough. I'm a higher-level educational administrator making a very average salary for ...[text shortened]...
But like I said, this is the life I chose and this is the life I need to pay for. No complaints.
Public school + a tutor (when necessary) might ease the strain on your wallet.

@shavixmir saidThe commie socialist continues to look down on the blue collar working man, how shallow the veneer.
Still better than 12 hour shifts down a coal mine.
@wajoma saidSee, the Aussie incel squeek, and again in a wrong direction.

1. It is better than working down a coal mine.
2. It's not the working down a coal mine that's the issue in my statement, it's a 12 hour shift.
Get a fukking life, you retard.

Ask any sane person here would they rather 12 hour shift being a productive member of society earning an honest wage or 12 minutes pegging shag doody with a duldo shaped like horse dick.
Even Mike Rowe 'Worlds Dirtiest Jobs' wouldn't go near that one.
Look out you'll get trampled in the stampede for the mine shaft.
@wajoma saidI love this thread, it confirms the right to choose in the USA. One can live in a small shack down along the river with minimal money, like I do, or go for the brass ring, go for big-time everything. Choice....I have been preaching it for some time. No limits.

A refreshing thread, indeed.
@mchill saidI have cultural/religious reasons that I cannot send my children to public school. It's simply not an option for me.

@athousandyoung saidrent a room? WTF
3k a month is fairly luxurious even in LA. Rent a room for 650 plus food and car insurance is “getting by”…
But not thriving.

@mott-the-hoople saidHe means sleeping on someone's couch with kitchen privileges, I think.
rent a room? WTF
That's about right for LA.
@sonhouse saidmaybe it's rent controlled and his rent hasn't gone up in 20 years
@AThousandYoung
What are you renting for 650 a month? A closet?
https://www.rentcafe.com/average-rent-market-trends/us/ca/los-angeles/
THAT says 2600 a month is average in LA.
Some 32 THOUSAND a year just for an apartment of 700 square feet.
@AverageJoe1
Right, half the time you brag about how much money you have and how much Trump made all that come true and now you live on minimalist money in a shack.
And you wonder why we don't believe you.

@jj-adams saidActually my sister still lives in the same apartment she and my parents rented 30 years ago. 1300 for a two bedroom.
They don't have rent control in LA, that's a New York City thing
