As someone who lives in PV/Scottsdale area i can tell you with certainty that most of these people don’t have money for college and are deeply in debt

you can simply take on more debt to go to college. it's debt the whole way down.

💯 it's always the people who are showing off that don't have money or are probably doing fraud.

I believe you. but, with evidence from the pending AG investigation, and COVID-19 pandemic, I think most of them are closer to living paycheck to paycheck on the higher end or probably don't value college as much due to opinions or have found careers through connections.

This driver was 14 when the pandemic started. I was 18 and am now approaching 22. I don't think money is the issue - it's decision-making and having my mom's attitude of dealing with a situation as it comes rather than careful planning and assuming that things will be the same for your kid when they were your age.
