At what income level is it a no-brainer to go private?

HHI is 1.8m and we have 2 in private and a nanny (youngest is 3) and all in it still feels like a lot even at our income when you factor in general cost of living around here and our mortgage.

Thank you for sharing. I will admit this is depressing to hear.

How long have you sustained that HHI? Do you have significant savings to fall back on?

Would posters mind sharing what industry they are in? We are also considering private for our DD and had similar concerns.
