[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s fine. My kids are thriving and I enjoy life every day.

Only time they’ve ever been to a country club is when visiting grandparents, we go camping for vacations, and they will likely go to a state school (like their father, who is a professor).

We are just as happy a family and mine was growing up, if not more so. Honestly, the local swim club community scene is so much more nourishing than the snooty club I spent time with as a child. I would love to be able to send them to whatever college they want, and pay for weekly piano lessons for my kid who loves music, but I don’t think either of those things will preclude them from a rewarding, fruitful life.

I grew up in a family that while wealthy, emphasized that material things beyond necessities are luxuries that confer no extra meaning or real value. That attitude has served all of us well.[/quote]

Your kids can get merit scholarships or take out loans to go to the private college that they want. If it was SMU vs UVA, of course I would send my kid to UVA. We would find a way if my kid wanted to go to Harvard.[/quote]
