Most interesting that these two articles appeared at roughly the same time. Truth be told, I was disappointed by the NYT article. While it was written for the Styles section, and thus had a less-news-than-entertainment-focus in its style, I still wanted it to delve deeper. For example, there was a great opportunity to report on families who have never sought financial aid, but are now asking in order to maintain private school enrollment. Let's hear from different families in different circumstances - the one with means but applying just to try, the one experiencing significant income reduction (such as the family in the NYT cover story moving from executive to hourly pay), the one anticipating future loss of income, the one trying to stay out of debt. Beyond the data and the statistics, how are these families faring?

Couldn't be more timely, given the stock market today. In fact, the markets are poised to fall even more over the next several years - just as the letters arrive.
