Let’s talk about the “forgotten middle.”

They’re the families who did everything right—saved money, worked hard, told their kids education was the golden ticket. And then… the bill comes. Nearly $100,000 a year at top schools. And here’s the kicker: they make “too much” for need-based aid but not nearly enough to just write that check.
In this episode, I dig into:

  • Why middle-class families are being squeezed out of higher education affordability.

  • The story of Ana Sofia Gómez Garza, who got into prestigious schools but had to fight for financial aid.

  • How families are negotiating, strategizing, and stressing just to make college possible.

  • The broader ripple effect on careers, family finances, and even the housing market.

This isn’t just about tuition. It’s about a system that leaves families stuck between pride and panic, wondering how to give their kids the future they’ve dreamed of without going broke in the process.
If you’ve ever thought, “We’re doing okay, but how the heck are we supposed to pay for college?”—this episode is for you.

If you ever want to buy or sell a property anywhere in the world, our team would be honored to help get you to your next destination.
Until next time, stay curious, stay hungry, and as always… stay ALL IN!
