[quote=Anonymous]You will need to differentiate between wants and needs, OP. We bought the smallest tear-down near downtown Bethesda to be inbounds for a great school cluster. We never regretted that decision, and don't feel "lesser than" other families who live in multimillion dollar mansions next to us. All the neighbor kids played together as elementary school children, ran across each other's yards, went into each other's houses, etc. Daycare, before and aftercare, summer/vacation camps while you work, and college are all expensive. We wanted to put our kid in good publics to give our investments time to grow so we could pay for college. Right now our oldest is at an 85K a year private university, total cost of attendance. The state flagship costs about $30K a year for residents, but kids from our school district need excellent grades to get in, because it's in demand. [/quote]
