Upper-middle-income families are being hit hardest financially as a result of rising college fees and the slumped economy, The Wall Street Journal reported. The Journal defines upper-middle income as families who sit financially between the 80th and 95th percentile of nationwide households.

Even after adjusting for inflation, the price of tuition of four-year colleges has doubled since 1985, according to the College Board.

While our generation is lucky to have somewhere to escape, imagine the terror of recognizing that relief from nature's wrath was an impossibility during the Dust Bowl, a period of severe dust storms in the 1930s. During this time, there was nowhere within hundreds of miles where the heat was more bearable or where the air wasn't choked with fine dust particles that could and would suffocate infants in their cribs.
