[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a SAHM with a husband making $80k a year and two kids. I left my job when we had our first child and he made $65k. It's fairly common outside DCUM/private school rich bubbles.

We've been lucky with private school financial aid and government assistance. I say it's worth applying![/quote]

As long as the financial aid calculation is based on your income being 130-140k, I’m fine with it.  I would not be fine with it based on a 80k income only.[/quote]

It doesn't matter what you'd be fine with as its the schools decision, not yours.  But, there is no way they are getting government assistance making $80K aa year. [/quote]

You're not getting TANF or SNAP on $80K/year with 2 kids, even in DC with it's very high income limits.  Try again with your attempt to be inflammatory.  [/quote]

No TANF or SNAP, but Medicaid with a premium for the kids and once they qualify for that they also qualify for WIC. Down payment assistance and other home buying loan programs that offer manageable interest rates also help. $80k is plenty manageable in this area for a family of 4 once you're aware of these programs. I encourage anyone who wants to have one parent stay home look into their options and apply for financial aid at private schools.[/quote]
