[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]1. $300K + HHI is not upper middle class. Not in the DMV, or virtually anywhere in the USA. $300K is top 9th percentile in MD, top 6th percentile in VA, and top 10th percentile in DC.

2. We make $430K and are sending our kid to private school because we don’t want her wasting time on Chromebook games and state tests. We want her in small classes with teachers who can differentiate instruction. We want her to get the full slate of subjects, rather than math and reading to the detriment of other subjects. We want her to have access to great art and music opportunities. In sum: We can afford to give her a better education, so we are. [/quote]

Same. We make $450 and have to stretch to send 2 kids to private but believe education is of the highest importance. So instead of buying a $2.5m home we are living more modestly and paying for private school. [/quote]

Education is of higher importance to me also which is why I switched to private. That was a mistake that I assumed it would be superior to public, it hasn’t been and upwards of $30 thousand a year down the drain. [/quote]
