[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thanks everyone for your thoughts. We will stick it out for another year and re-evaluate. DD is on the shyer and quieter side, bright but not a genius. We chose this private school for the small class sizes, excellent (though not accelerated) curriculum, and opportunities for leadership and public speaking. Due to unforeseen circumstances, DH is making $200k more per year than we were expecting him to. And we banked that over the last two years. So we thought, why not give the kids a private education since we hear neighbors and family/friends complain about MCPS frequently. It is not hurting our lifestyle or savings. We can still afford to pay undergrad and grad school and start them with maybe a million each. But I was reading a book about the Kennedys and thinking, hey wouldn’t it be nice to put all that money in a compound instead![/quote] Oh, dear lord.[/quote] +1. Respectfully, omg you are not Kennedy-esque OK?. [/quote] OP is just saying it would be nice to have a family vacation property. She/he didn't say it would turn them into the Kennedys[/quote]
