Speaking for myself, “high taxes” and “less than $60k” were both noted and considered in the overall context of OP’s first post, and things didn’t add up.
If OP doesn’t know what his/her parents pay in taxes, OP shouldn’t be saying things like “the majority of our money goes to taxes…” OP started this thread looking for information about family finances as it relates to college admissions, and provided some basic family financial details. Well, some of those details make no sense. In order to provide accurate answers, those responding to OP’s query need accurate information. More importantly, OP needs accurate information in order to understand his/her own family’s financial situation as college looms over the horizon. Details matter.
