[quote=Anonymous]op - we have 2 kids.

to other posters point, $1m after tax and in NYC is absolutely not like having a money tree. NYC is SO expensive (I am preaching to the choir as you all get it and I think just the DC poster is not accustomed to our insane pricing). I also haven't always made 7 figures and private school has not been a slam dunk. Honestly if you are spending $250k pre tax income each year for 2 kids at private school, you have to be in a pretty insane income bracket to not even think about that expense. And to the points that have been made before, it's about the ROI. The thing I keep coming back to is I could have saved $600k, sent dc to a public and still probably got him into Dwight. That $600k would have probably worked harder for me elsewhere; and I did work insanely hard to earn that money and made sacrifices as most people would. If i could go back in time, I think I would not do private at least for elementary. OR I wish I'd really held the school to account a few years ago when I started asking them where he was tracking towards and they demurred. Yes it would have been uncomfortable to say - look - I need names. But I would at least have had a sense of what was to come. Having a kid who never asks for help with homework, who doesn't need to be cajoled into doing it, who has never had a tutor recommended, and told dwight as a first option is a level of cognitive dissonance no one should be paying hundreds of thousands of dollars to experience.
