How do you figure that? I'm curious (and i dont mean it to be sarcastic, i'm truly interested). What's the difference between private vs public school? Just because you go to a public school doesn't mean you are less likely to go to college.
All the NYC women have children that are 15 and below, so you can't say all those kids will go to college. True there are some OC kids who didn't go to college, but that happens everywhere. Brianna is in school, so is Michael. Shane aspires to be a baseball player, and from what it seems like he's doing pretty well. Cara is in school (so who cares that she didn't get accepted to USC or UCLA? That doesn't negate the fact that's she going to a pretty darn good school). I'm pretty sure Josh said something about going to college, and aren't Lauri's step-kids barely out of high school? I know McKenzie is younger than Ashley.
I do agree that the OC and NYC women think of money in different ways. The OC women are more "materialistic"--they want to buy expensive things, purses, cars, clothes, boobs---while the NYC women use money to hang over people's heads.
I kinda disagree with you all saying that the NYC women care more about charity, I think the only one that truly cares about charity is Bethenny. Going to charity and fundraiser events is just an opportunity to climb the social ladder. I honestly respect people more if they decided not to give to charity rather to the people who give to charity so they can have a "look at me, I gave 1 million to so-and-so charity so now i'm popular, love me cause now i can have friends and parties to go to and i'm not a wallflower anymore" attitude.
