[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks for this information. Yes, our net income after taxes only is about $200K. Other deductions like retirement contributions, health insurance, etc. account for about $50,000, so our net take-home income is about $150,000.

Do schools adjust the parent contribution amount differently than what is shown on the Family Contribution Report that we see to account for cost of living in high-cost areas, etc.?[/quote]

$150, you can comfortably to afford to pay.[/quote]

I wish we could comfortably afford to pay, but paying $80K - $100K+ for 2 kids out of $150K (or even $200K) net income wouldn't leave much left for living and other expenses in this expensive area unfortunately.[/quote]

Then it sounds like you either  need to reduce your expenses or go public.  We make $160-180K and have paid $20-30K for private.  We live in a house you'd never consider and only vacation every few years.  We also have plenty for activities, retirement and college fund.  [/quote]
