[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are you serious? People saying you can't afford it have a spending problem. We paid for a pricey secular k8 when we were under 200k and are now paying 50k at just over 200k. we have probably a bit less in equity than you if I'm understanding you correctly that you have 800k equity and still 750k mortgage left to pay.

An expensive SFH is a CHOICE.
Nice cars are a CHOICE.
Fancy gadgets and trips are a CHOICE.
Spending on nicer clothes and nails and hair salons are a CHOICE.

You can choose cushy or you can choose education. Pretending you can't "afford" it on your salary is utter nonsense.[/quote]

Exactly this. I don’t use a house cleaner - I clean myself. We rarely eat out. Our vacations are visiting and staying with family. We don’t buy expensive clothes or handbags or watches. We have an ordinary car. Etc etc. Life is about choices. [/quote]

Yep.  And your choices are just plain nuts.  [/quote]

Our choices are nuts? Lol yep, says a completely ignorant, idiot. [/quote]

You will never convince and many others that it’s worth so much sacrifice for a private school education.  It’s like you’re deifying your kid.

Any attentive and educated parent can see to it that their kid gets a good education in a public school.  They don’t have to deprive themselves to such a great extent.  They just don’t.  It’s odd AF to think otherwise. [/quote]

The fact that you see this as depriving yourself is itself an issue. It is living no differently than the vast majority of Americans and still way better than most of the rest of the world. I can plan a road trip through Italy or Greece for 3 weeks for less than what a single budget week costs in the US. I'm starting to think that it may just be a lack of imagination due to too much money lmao[/quote]
