[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here to add, I realize this is a bit masturbatory.  I know we have it easy, and I'm not looking for any positive feedback.  I just get frustrated by the $300k "scraping by" posts and wanted to push back on it a bit.[/quote]

Add a severely autistic DC or two to the mix and get back to us about how easy it is.[/quote]

But that is a special circumstance.  OP was not responding to people that have unusual medical costs and saying suck it up you are doing fine, OP was responding to the adults that say it is so hard to make it on $300K/year because of the DC COL.  I am not diminishing your circumstances, but they are beside the point to this conversation.  All these people that say but but but maybe you will need private school.  The truth is that very few families that can afford to live in a good school district  “need” private school.  It is a choice, one that people are free to make but they have to own that it is a choice for whatever reason, not a need.[/quote]

And some people's kids do need private school. LD's, disabilities, your middle schooler on drugs, hanging out with the wrong kids instead of studying many reasons, a parent dying or being ill with cancer and the kid needing more personal attention and supervision (which is not given in public).
This is a simplistic thought process you've got going on here. [/quote]
