[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I want to know where your money is going that you cannot afford a good Montessori or another private placement on 240k a year. There are bigger problems here. [/quote]

privates in this area are northward of 35k/year .... 240k HHI does not support that for 2 kids.  [/quote]

Seriously!!! Some posters are clueless or they haven’t thought through the numbers. Houses now in good districts are 750k at a minimum. Property taxes alone come close to $10k. Just the housing costs are crazy high here. Our HHI is about $200k and we couldn’t do one private comfortably. You need more funds to keep up with the extra than just being able to barely afford tuition.  [/quote]

OP is talking about dropping the household income total from about 240K to 140K. Or, she could keep making that 100K part and dedicate what's left after taxes to private school for two kids, or moving, or whatever. Then again, she later said (IIRC) it wasn't really about the quality of the school, public or private, but that she wanted the kids to have completed individualized pacing, which they would only get with her.

OP, how apprehensive or hesitant would you be about taking this next step, if you did not have kids? Are you feeling at all burned out, or wanting not to work for your own reasons (not the kids), or feeling a little overwhelmed?[/quote]
