[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not OP, but because private school tuition is crazy expensive and the cost of living in this area is high and just keeps going up?[/quote]

Lots of people make it work.[/quote]

On $200K? No they aren't. Not for 2 kids.[/quote]

Yes they are.  They find schools that have lower tuition such as catholics.  They dip into savings or find higher paying jobs.  They ask for help from the grandparents.  They figure it out.  Don’t be so lazy.[/quote]

Catholic ADW schools, sure. But they aren't the same thing as independent schools. If you consider them to be in the same category, then I suppose sure.

But changing jobs - to get a higher salary - is not, then, making $200K a year. Nor is using someone else, say, grandparents, the same as paying tuition on $200K a year. [/quote]

Presumably both parents are working if you want to be considered for aid, since no additional info was given.  Assuming each is working full time, the possibility of one being able to find a better job is reasonably in your control.[/quote]

Then it's not making $200k a year, it's making $250 or whatever (to the point that there are not families paying full fare for 2 kids at private school making 200.)[/quote]
