This is where you've gone wrong, PP.  You have no idea what deamnds the kind of jobs that typically pay enough to get you $500K or more frequently demand of the people who have them.  Often, these are families who [i]need[/i] substantial help (nanny, housekeeper, yard service, dog walker, and so on), and two - actually three, so the nanny has one - cars, to live their lives.  Why?  Because at any moment, one or both parents would be completely unable to make aftercare pick up.  One or both parents may be called upon to work on an emergency project that requires working all weekend.  Oops - there goes the laundry and the housecleaning.  One or both parents want to maximize their free time with their children on the weekends, since weeknights are taken up with homework and parent work.  And the parents need to be able to travel separately (one is heading to the airport while the other heads to the office) and to leave a safe car at home for the nanny to pick up the kids from school.  Time is the most precious commodity for these parents.  Rather than calling them out of touch with reality, why don't you recognize that their reality is different from yours?  If the OP asked, "What does a family with reasonable jobs who has lots of time to work on the yard, do laundry, clean the whole house and pick up the kids and take them to activities without impacting the parents' respective work days need to make to be comfortable putting two kids through private school" the answers may well have been different.  The OP didn't ask that question, so people are responding with their realities.  If the OP would like to clarify her question, she is of course welcome to do so.[/quote]

The OP asked a generic question.  She didn't ask what people with exotic jobs need.  Go look at her post.
