Income isn't relevant for you but it is for most of us. We care. You don't seem to realize that you are anonymous so you can tell us her school and job and income.
You really are full of yourself. I’ve hired and fired Ivy League grads. Book smarts does not equal capability in a corporate environment. All of them, while obviously smart, have been so underwhelming.
I bet your daughter didn’t pull a 4.0 unweighted w 12 AP classes and a 1570 SAT. You’re going to say she did, but multiple posters now have proven you are FOS.
One would have to be a complete idiot to take pay full go at Dartmouth over a full ride at Washington & Lee. Or UNC or UT. An idiot.
2) No one here as ever proven that I am FOS...kind of hard to do that since I am not.
You have proven it over and over again on this thread. lol You've been caught lying several times already.
Again, bro, nobody gives a $hit. You are going to sit here and tell me that wherever your esteemed daughter (sounds like her old man) went is better than a Duke, Vanderbilt, or Rice? Unless you are talking about MIT, Stanford, or Cal Tech, then you are FOS. If you are talking about a school like Amherst or Middlebury, you are FOS. If you are talking about a Colorado College, you are really FOS.
So, where did she go? What gifted program that you buried all of your money into your house and cars so she should get full financial aid did she go to?
Yes, I would say that the university my daughter attended is generally considered to be a better school than Duke, Vanderbilt, or Rice...those are all fine schools, to be sure...ESPECIALLY when you consider Duke's graduate programs...BUT as far as undergrad, nah, they are not at the same level.
She also didn't get "full financial aid". She got what amounted to full tuition. We paid room and board. And no, I'm not going to tell you the university.
I’m not saying Ivy League grads are inferior, just that they can’t get out of their own way in a typical corporate structure. Many times they are smarter to be sure. BUT, legacy and athletic admits dilute the pool of super geniuses.
I agree that UT Austin isn’t elite, but you are looking through a USNWR, and, probably Covid or pre-Covid lens. For many kids, it is among the most selective.
In fact, I’m guessing your daughter applied to college pre-Covid. It is SO much harder to get admitted to elite universities now since most have gone test optional, because the pool of applicants with inflated grades due to Covid soared.
I’m guessing your daughter went to an Amherst, since you won’t come out with it. Great school but definitely not better than Duke, Vandy, or Rice. Nope.
Yeah yeah yeah...I'm sure it was super easy when my daughter entered college to get into the EXTREMELY elite college she went to. Whatever, dude. You go find some joy.

Yeah. Because it doesn't exist.
I'd wager that you don't even have a daughter.
I agree with this. We don't even know who he is. What we do know about Flagpole:
(1) he likes to call people Brother
(2) he CAPITALIZES many of his words.
(3) he lives in the midwest or somewhere boring at least
What is her income today and what was her starting income? You admitted that your income wasn't high so why put so much emphasis on elite schools?
1) Income is irrelevant in this case as income wasn't what she or The Lovely Mrs. Flagpole and I were shooting for. She is doing quite well though...doing what she wants to do in a very competitive field and earning a decent living doing it...and no I will not reveal her career.
So, we are in agreement...those two schools are NOT elite universities.
Correct, but some programs at such universities can be considered elite.
That doesn't make those universities elite. So, if you go to a school like Texas which has an elite program in doucebaggery, and you LEAVE the doucebaggery program, then you are just in a program that isn't elite.

Universities are either elite or they aren't.
I guess this means that Columbia University's music program is elite but Indiana University's Jacob school of music isn't.
2k a month from your employer into a 401k?! I've never heard of such a thing...that's more than you could do yourself even if you were over 50 ($22,500 would be the max...$17,000 plus $5,500 a year catchup).
$61k is the max employee and employer can contribute. So the above situation can happen.
“This means that together, you and your employer can contribute up to $61,000 for your 401(k).”

prove it otherwise we don't believe you
Though Flagpole is in no danger of revealing anything he doesn't want you to know and certainly doesn't need other posters help here, I will say it is pretty disturbing that you are asking him where his daughter goes to college. Probably better topics than someone's kid to troll about.

In 2022 the max is 20,500 and not 17k. My wife and I are both fortunate enough to hit that mark this year, and while we have employer contributions, they aren't 2k a month, more like $500 or so. So I guess around $52k this year into 401k. We both have pensions too. I spend pretty much everything else, we only keep savings at a "3 month expense" level.
