With 3 children and that budget, you're not wealthy enough for private school, college and retirement. Please no college loans - they will burden your for decades. In-state total cost for college is at least 30K a year now, but these prices have always risen faster than inflation, so you might be paying outrageous sums in the future!

Go to your "good" public school and be attentive parents and invest your savings. You will need them.

Which public schools aren't a train wreck now?  We hate to move and be in same pickle but with a higher mortgage and longer commute...[/quote]

And my spouse is opposed to moving as well, for what its worth -- because we moved HERE for the good schools.  We keep moving/making decisions too late to have good outcomes.  We should have moved to some "top" rather than "good" school district back when we were young, but we thought kids would be fine wherever they went, and then middle school happened and all the smart kids left our district and our kids spent their day napping in class while teachers re-teach the same thing over and over.  Hence our exodus to private school unexpectedly, and now fumbling what the right choice would be.[/quote]
