[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It sounds like you've made good choices and have financial peace. We live near you in a similar house. Although our HHI is closer to $400,000, we have made the financially problematic decision to send 2 of our 3 kids to private school. It's made things very tight for us because tuition takes up so much of our income (way more than our mortgage). I think that, when people say it's hard to live in DC in a HHI of $300,000, they either (a) have at least one child in private school; or (b) bought a nicer house than you or I did.[/quote] (OP here) Yes, private school tuition would make things tight. I'm curious, if you don't mind answering, how did you decide to send 2 kids to private and 1 kid to public? Our kids are really young (3 and 6), so we haven't had to grapple with a lot of that yet. Though we did consider the schools when we moved to this neighborhood, of course.[/quote]
