[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We’re on $750k w one kid and I’m totally made uncomfortable by the whole thing, but it’s more on principle then pure logic, which I get. Spending $20k to send your kid somewhere I get, but that’s not an option. The fact it’s $45k or overcrowded schools makes me sick. It’s all in extremes and it’s hard for me to sit with.

It also bothers me that it makes a huge impact on my husband and my future. That’s our child’s future when it comes to spending when they’re adults. I know it’s not totally black-and-white, but I do see things like, would I rather give them a down payment on a mortgage? Or send them to private school? Which would be a better leg up in life? If I’m in early retirement because they went to public and thus can help fund other aspects of their life, which might be better? I don’t have any answers to this, but I think for me, it very quickly gets outside the numbers and into our values and it really leaves me torn to be honest. [/quote]
