[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is interesting. We make $140K and are considering private, but are a little concerned that we will be the "poor" people there. FWIW we don't consider ourselves poor and are pretty happy with our lot in life, but we don't want out boys to feel like they are the poor kids all the time. [/quote]
You will be the "poor" family. We are the poor family at 250K.[/quote]

We feel relatively poor with $380K HHI and 1 child in Big-3 private.[/quote]

What makes you feel "relatively poor"?  Our HHI has varied from $1M to $250K.  We have 3 kids, youngest is at a Big 3 from which older 2 graduated -- they are now in college.  We saved enough for kids' college tuition, plus 3 years of grad school each, and we're in good shape for retirement.  We have never felt poor -- some families at our kids' school are better off and some less so.  We live in a comfortable and pretty home in a great neighborhoo.  We take vacations, including skiing at the holidays and spring break, and other travel in the summer.  We don't drive fancy cars and I don't have fancy jewelry.  We feel pretty darned fortunate.            [/quote]
