Everyone has "limited resources," regardless of what it looks like. A lot of folks -- DINKS-- earning seven figures still think twice about those $900 Jil Sander pants and $200 t-shirts.
Conversely, a lot of those seven figure incomes also sweat out the private schools and college education.

That's more a testament to some parents' short-sightedness than their "limited means." My kids know from day one that I'm not paying for their college. If they're gifted, they'll get scholarships. If not, and they still want to go, they can take out loans and go to state school. Otherwise, there are plenty of trade schools out there and a trade is an honorable profession that, these days, commands a very high salary.
As for pre-college, my kids go to the ultimate private school. And we don't pay no $5,000/annum...
