[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Probably not OP. You can't do things for your children and expect gratitude later on. That's not how it works. Children are inherently selfish - that's how they grow away from you. You're bound to be disappointed if you're expecting them to be grateful for any of the sacrifices you've made.

This is why I always say that if you have to ask if private school tuition is "worth" it - you can't afford it. Public school is just fine. Private school is for people who have gobs and gobs of $$$$ - so much so that they don't know what to do with it. It's not worth the sacrifices you're making - living in a small, dated house or not taking the vacations you'd like. It's your one life too. You need to enjoy it while you are still able to. It's not like you're torn between private school and the work house. There's a great public school they could attend that would enable you to fix up your house and take amazing trips. [/quote]

This is very good advice. I would personally pull my kids out and spend the money this way

Extra 8k a month:

2k - nicer house 
2k - diners out, vacation fund, cleaning lady
4K - invest in the market. [/quote]
