According to the Economist, "Between 1960 and 2005 the share of men with university degrees who married women with university degrees nearly doubled, from 25% to 48%." Parents whose education have translated into financial stability seem to be investing heavily in their children's futures, while those with less means too often have to choose between essential commodities and investments.
Do the dollar values represent yearly costs of kindergarten for these different income brackets?
