[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]While it's not as common, you see plenty of people who had kids at around 25 who can afford private by the time their oldest is in K.  I happen to know several at our school.  They could have family money, be two attorneys (or even 1 Big Law, especially if the spouse is a couple of years older), be in finance or some other high paying field, have a low mortgage and prioritize private school, etc.

Also, I wouldn't put much thought into the age difference.  I've made friends of all ages through my kids' private school.  I enjoy the moms who are in their 50s just as much as the ones in their early 30s.  I have found we have plenty in common, especially since we have kids the same age/ages.[/quote]

This! I'm the "25yo mom" (26 actually). Relatively low mortgages and nice incomes are common in my circle. I have made friends with parents of different age groups and it hasn't been an issue.

FYI- There is a rude younger mom who posted a comment who is NOT me. [/quote]

And I'm the young mom who posted about not saving for retirement on the other thread, which got this whole topic started. I'm also not the rude/touchy poster.

We live in a tiny older home, drive 10 year old cars, and forego vacations. We have chosen to invest everything we can in our kids' education. We don't judge others for their choices, and hope that others won't judge us for our age or choices. I have a good group of friends with a variety of different circumstances, and we find plenty in common. [/quote]
