[quote=Anonymous]Housing prices vary with the desirability of local public schools. If you think you'll send your kids to private schools, you can choose an inexpensive neighborhood without worrying about the public schools.

Buy a small house and simple furnishings. It's just a place to eat and sleep so don't feel like it's the measure of your worth.

Don't eat out. We go out once a year, on our anniversary, to the pancake house. The kids enjoy it so we enjoy it.

Drive on vacations, and stay with friends or relatives.

Own a practical car, give it basic maintenance, and keep it until it dies of old age.

If you do these things and still can't afford a private school, the school is likely to help with financial aid.

Is it worth it? Many say no. We say yes. We had opinions about the kind of environment where we wanted our kids to be educated, so it was a priority for us to be able to choose their schools, and we're happy that we did. Every family has to look at its own options and set its own priorities.
