[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"We just budgeted for it when we purchased our home."

Private school tuition is around $40k.  So that's 3,300/month.  Almost certainly enough to just ... buy a house in a place where you know you can send your kid to public school.  And if you have two kids?  [/quote]

Budgeted meaning we purchased well below what we could in anticipation of private school. I agree with the "just buy in a place where you can send kids to public mindset." That's the financially smart thing to do. But I know families that moved for that exact reason and still ended up in private schools. It happens a lot. People get caught up in what all the neighbors are doing so abandoned their original plan Some marriages don't survive that situation. Things are changing rapidly. If you choose to stay just identify the privates and charters that are of interest and when you plan to make the move. The uncertainty is a drag. Just follow your plan and go from there.[/quote]

Ok but to “budget” for private means you would buy what, $500k less of a house? Or $1mil less if you had two kids? You are rich, sir. [/quote]
