[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is a troll post. You can afford to send 3 kids to private and summer camp.[/quote] I assure you it’s not a troll post. We are in a HCOL area. Tuition for three kids would be minimum 100k and closer to 150k if they’re older. That’s almost half of our take home income. Summer camp is another 10-15k per kid for the summer- the cost of a full tuition essentially. Add in mortgage (which is very reasonable), medical/insurance costs, soaring food costs, childcare/costs of two working parents, extracurriculars/tutoring, retirement savings, other savings… it goes quickly. Jewish day school is a major expense. Yes, any private school is a major expense, but I wouldn’t otherwise choose private school unless I was wealthier or my kids had a specific need that warranted it. It’s a huge financial sacrifice. It’s almost ironic that the less observant schools cost more, because those are the people most likely to turn away from it altogether.[/quote]
