[quote=Anonymous]OP, I'm not sure how you'd know which families were receiving financial aid at the school you applied to but don't attend, but if that is the case then no, they shouldn't be receiving FA.  But looking at your financial situation, you shouldn't be either.  You make choices about what you decide to spend money on.  And no, if you're unwilling to tap into equity or touch any of your stocks then you probably can't swing 60K+ a year in tuition for 2 kids.  With no mortgage or flashy lifestyle you should absolutely be able to afford solid private schools for your kids, but you're going to have to look at the Catholic schools or Friends Community or some of the Montessori programs or some of the schools that aren't talked about as much on these boards.  If you want the big name private school though, then you have a choice to make, tap into those stocks or decide that your retirement is more important than the big name private. Or you sell the house and move to a school district you can live with. Life is full of tough choices.  [/quote]
