“ Americans paying 100% of their kids college is kinda”. As a non immigrant it’s weird to me too.

There are a class of parents who obsess about “the best”. Best schools, best tutors, best nutrition, best ‘experiences’, best neighborhood. It’s a hedonistic treadmill in the making.

Exactly. Saving $200k per kid for private college is not a “need” its a luxury. But a lot of upper class Americans see it as the “baseline”.
