[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My parents sacrificed a great deal to send my siblings and I to private K-12. While I recognize that I received an excellent education and I appreciate the sacrifices they made, I think they made the wrong financial decision. [b]They simply aren't able to afford retirement. [/b]

My siblings and I learned from their mistakes. We purchased homes in great school districts and are sending our kids to public school. We are saving for retirement, and we are helping them out since they are strapped for cash.

We also have money to travel with our kids. we never took vacations that involved airplanes or passports when I was a kid, and I want my children to see the world.

This can happen and to working professionals.  My parents invested a lot of their income and sent us to public.  My in-laws made more money but spent more of it and spent over a million dollars on private school when it wasn't necessary due to decent public school options.  I can't imagine how much more money they would have had they invested that one million dollars.  Such a waste. [/quote]
