[quote=Anonymous]OP, we are looking at houses and are in some ways very similar to you in terms of income and concerns. A difference is that my kids are already older (teens) and are coming from private schools where they have always been aware that they are poorer than many of their peers. It was a significant sacrifice to keep them in private, but we did it for the better schools (we were in another state, not the DC area). We are now looking at public schools and I'm not that worried about buying into an affluent district like Whitman or Churchill. My kids know we will never be at the top of the heap financially, and they are okay with that. In my opinion, kids can adjust to this if you decide to buy into the more affluent areas. In fact, I think it's been a good life-lesson for them to see that we value education enough to prioritize this even if it means fewer fancy vacations and status items.[/quote]
