[quote=Anonymous]We make around $325K and have two in two different &quot;Big3&quot; private high schools with a tuition bill of $110K.  
Grandparents pay one tuition, we pay one tuition.  We do not receive aid.

Yes, we could theoretically pay for this completely out of our income but that would be &gt;50% of our take home income and it wouldn't be worth it to us (AT ALL!) unless we had a kid who 
needed private placement for special needs (in which case I could see doing whatever it took).

Private school is not worth living a bare bones existence!!  Privates are fine but there are flaws and frustrations just like there are in public.  They're just different flaws and 
frustrations.  We have experience with 2 different publics and 2 different &quot;Big 3&quot; privates (we use private just for high school).

Even with grandparent help, we often wonder if this is worth it.  It's also perennially odd to be two professionals with a combined very good income ($325K) and to be among the
&quot;poorest&quot; people we know at school.  It's unsettling.  We are not materialistic people and the wealth our kids are surrounded by is astounding.
