So you want cars for your kids and are looking at a private school? For a few grand you can set up with a state school early on. Which part of luxury is so hard to understand. Todays 'necessities' were yesterdays luxuries, the ones that even existed then.

The cost of living today dictates that most families have both parents working to support those silly things like the mortgage on their modestly sized home outside DC.

I saw your truck, so thats not a luxury along with your bike eh?
Take a GOOD look at the 1950's lifestyle and tell me how that life style is a luxury these days.
