[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t think you need to spend 20k per kid per year if you’re already spending on private school tuition. That doesn’t make sense at your HHI. [/quote]

If they don't, they will feel poor because the other kids will have horse back riding and other pursuits. My daughter is in public and where she rides, nearly all the kids come from private schools.

Yeah. You could have picked a less expensive activity. [/quote]

Oh, we don't have a problem with that.

But I'm telling OP that if she's in a private, she might find herself feeling poor if she's not able to have a similar lifestyle than the average private school family. It also depends on the private, but as others have pointed out, there's really no benefit to enrolling in a cheaper private - they're not going to be good.

I live in a wealthy neighborhood. A lot of the 300K families just put their kids in the local public, which has a good reputation. That way they can live comfortably, instead of feeling cash-strapped. The wealth in top privates is something else. You do NOT want to be the full-pay family who struggles.
