HHI~ $200K-$300K bonus dependent.
About $15k for private. Older DC is a college sophomore, but we paid for 2 private tuitions for 7 years. We kept our 15 year old van until it was totaled and we bought our kids cars and DH is sharing a car with the kids until college is completed which will be 2027. A lot of sacrifice, but it is worth it. |

| A lot. HHI is $620 k and we spend $70k on private school. Started when the kids were 6th graders and went public before then to save some money! |

That's a lot of aid for that salary |

There are a lot of factors at play but here is a snip from a top private. I will add we have very little assets. In recent years, families with household incomes ranging from $25,000 to more than $300,000 have been eligible for financial aid. For 2021-2022, the school granted more than $5,500,000 in scholarships with 36% percent of the student body receiving that aid. Grants, based on family’s income and assets, range from 5 percent to 99 percent of tuition; the average grant for 2021-2022 accounted for approximately 65 percent of the tuition costs. |

Absurd. This 285k is the “economic diversity “ these schools keep touting. I’d be livid if I were donating to fund for this |

You don’t know their family situation. They could have zero assets, zero pension funds and savings because of high debt, medical bills, etc. we have slightly higher income (HHI 340) 3 kids in private and zero aid (we applied). We however have low mortgages and own two houses in DC. |

| $80k for 2 kids on a pre-tax salary of around $1m, so about 8% |
