[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I plan for and set aside 4 percent. I also plan for and set aside a flat 2500.00 for donations. Anything above 4 percent I use the 2500 reserve first. Last year we had 7 percent increase, so I skipped the gala tickets and the annual fund (I think I still did 50 bucks to keep their participation goal) and still owed 700 bucks. This year is 4.1 percent. I know I am a "bottom feeder" in terms of HHI at our school so I know they won't "miss" my 2500 bucks but it is one small way I try and "draw the line." I have three kids, two in different privates and one does extensive ABA which is basically like a tuition payment so I really try and pre plan as much as a I can. The "good news" is (worst case scenario) if we have to pay as we go at a state school it will feel "very easy" in comparison.[/quote] I really like this idea and may implement it myself! [/quote]
