[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We make about $190K. Have chosen private for each of our three kids for just a couple of key years in their educational journey. Our private is in the $20-24K/year range. A little help from grandparents (not full tuition, but about 60%) most years. For only two of the years we've had kids in private have we had two of them there at once; most years, one's been in private and the other two are in public.
 
We're in a small, old house with a $1400/mo mortgage; 10+ year old cars. We rarely eat out, don't have cable, use prepaid cell phone plans, etc. We live very modestly.

We are saving well for college and retirement. [/quote]

OP here, is that 190k after taxes or before? Do your children do any enrichment activities?[/quote]

PP you are referring to. 190K before taxes. Kids do little enrichment-- one is on a travel sports team but the coaches volunteer, so fees are just to the league. etc. Otherwise, public school sports (no $$) and one plays an instrument with school (minimal cost). We're about to hire a tutor for one kid for the first time so that will be a new, but necessary expense.
