[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. This is such an odd comment. For the record, our combined income is $1.5M and we can afford it. But I also recognize the extraordinary expense and the fact that life happens and something could change with that income. Getting a sense of expense over the long haul would be a key question I’d ask for any business investment… why wouldn’t I ask it as it relates to the biggest decision we’ll make for our family?

Because many if not most of us don't view our kids as "investment" vehicles.[/quote]

I'm sorry but, again, this is so odd. I don't see my kids as an investment vehicle. I want the best experience for them but with three kids I also need to consider if an expense of well over $2M is worth it for all of us. I hope I am modeling for my kids to make strong, intentional choices with how they spend their money.

My kids are currently in two private schools that we really like and the cost is worth it to us. I also know that no school is perfect and there are pros and cons to it all -- the individual school, public vs private, all of it. As you suggest (or directly state, as the case may be) that the fact I'm asking about tuition is a sign that either 1) I can't afford it or 2) I view my kids as an investment vehicle, well, you are so out of touch with reality, I'd love to know where you send your kids to ensure mine do not grow up around people like you. It's one thing to spend millions on your kids education (which I am on the path to do, so you won't get judgment from em for that!) -- it's another to throw insults at people who are taking the cost of it all seriously. Please go away. [/quote]
