[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our HHI is $200k with one kid in private. We’ve had him there for 10 years, and our HHI was $150k when he started. Does it constrain us? Well yeah - if we weren’t paying $40k for tuition we would use it for a nicer house or nicer vacations. There is always a trade off, unless you are very wealthy. But we value the school more than we value a nice house or vacation, so that is how we spend our money. There are plenty of other people at our school whose incomes are near ours - two income families with a teacher and a pediatrician, or a nurse and a fed, etc. My kid knows we have more money than 99% of the world and 90% of the US, even if we do have less money than many of his classmates. It’s never been an issue.[/quote]

Our HHI is 250k, but otherwise +1.   Makes me think our children are at the same school.  We feel very comfortable both with our finances and in the school community.  [/quote]

+1, except our HHI is recently up to $280k.  One kid in $40k private, and we are still contributing to retirement and college, but our house is small and no fancy luxuries.

OP, I think you can afford at least two kids in private.[/quote]
