Indeed, but don't be so flippant about timmy's college education without being equally critical of people's housing choices. I tend to find more people panting every month due to their entitled housing choices (particularly military folk, buying houses at every craphole duty station then acting shocked they can't unload in a liquid fashion, nor at a profit) than the education choices for their children. Lot of entitled wives holding the "D card" over their benefactor husbands about getting put up in the right palace in the right neighborhood.
Home-loanership accounts for a lot of these "I can't make black on 4K/mo, poor me" narratives, I'm afraid. I find that equally inexcusable.
