[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t see why this should bother you. We bought our house for $850k and have a 2.5 percent mortgage. It’s now worth close to 2 million. My husband’s income has gone up a little but we are a single income family since I took a step back so he could advance his career and I have a small part-time work from home job. If we ever decide to make the move to private, we would be on the hook for $60,000 plus per kid if we chose the options that suit our families needs (Bullis, Saint Andrew’s). This would be a crippling level of debt when you take into consideration the rest of our expenses and our lives. Why should we be penalized because we made a great decision with our home all those years ago? I don’t see why that’s an issue. [/quote]

How old are your children? If your house has doubled in value since you bought it they’re probably older and you are capable of taking a higher paying job to pay for private if your husband’s career has not advanced to the point of being able to cover that (no shade intended, my husband and I have three kids and we both work full time and our oldest child is in private).
