[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If wife insists upon this, she needs to raise her income (post any childcare) by at least $1,000-$1,500 a month. Either change jobs or get a second job. Then you’ll see just how important it really is to her.[/quote] I was thinking this. If she wants them to go to private she needs to take a second job to cover it without hitting the budget. She is their mother. Your kids could benefit from seeing the sacrifice she will make to send them to private school. Do not compromise and run at a monthly deficit and spend the college fund on this. FYI, most kids coming out of private schools don't get scholarships either unless there is a sport involved. Admittedly, your child will likely have a better education and higher sat scores. So you will still need to pay the tuition at the nicer college your kid is likely to get into.[/quote]
