[quote=Anonymous]I'm still totally confused on the kid/school thing.  If you say there's 14 years of private schooling left, then your kid is...in preschool?  You're paying 2k/month in preschool costs?  This makes no sense to me.  With a SAHP, you could easily send your kid to a church preschool for $500 bucks a month.

And I don't see where you mention anywhere whether you have any potential for increasing your income at any point.  Not your HHI (which you say will change with your spouse going to work net year) but YOUR income.  Is there any chance for more money from YOUR job?

I mean, honestly, you sound just like every other average family with kids around here.  We make about 40k more than you and until very recently, had the same issue with barely any money leftover every month (except instead of 2k in private school costs, we had 2k in daycare costs plus a 2k mortgage).

If your spouse is going to start working next year and your own income might increase soon, then you stop the 529 and donations until those things happen so that you can build up some savings and then reevaluate when the HHI increases.[/quote]
