[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For me, the issue is whether I want to have a cheaper mortgage, more space and pay private school tuition. I have decided that I can live without as much space, increase my mortgage and move to a neighborhood with good public schools. When you do a cost-benefit analysis, you really don't come out ahead by living in an area with unacceptable public schools. Private school tuition has gone up so much in recent years, that it doesn't make sense to have a cheaper mortgage and still pay $1,500 or more per month in tuition.[/quote] Actually, when I did the math for my family, PG county came out way, way, ahead. Our type of house, with our proximity to DH's job, the beltway, dc, and public transit would cost 800k almost anywhere else. Our house cost 320k. Private school (which is cheaper in PG) is fine for that 500k difference for our one DC. If more people actually did this calculation, PG would become more desirable.[/quote]
