[quote=Anonymous]Like a PP, our research determined that with 1 kid our costs would be roughly the same between buying a SFH in a good school district and living in the close-in city and paying for private. The difference is that the SFH would come with about twice the commute time for us, and that's time we'd rather be spending with our LO. Of course, now we have 2 kids, so private is an additional $30K/year, but we make it work, largely b/c we really value that extra time with them. Our incomes fluctuate, so we save a TON when we can and pull from it when we need to -- we're not extravagant people but we have everything we need to feel fulfilled. Well, maybe not that trip to Fiji, which we wouldn't spend the money on, but we do have the knowledge that our kids are having a wonderful school experience. Oh, and we won't be paying 100% for college. We could, but we believe the kids should chip in some. [/quote]
