[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was making just under $1 million a year when my kids were in school and never even considered private.  What’s the point?  It’s not like it gives you an edge with Harvard, and I’d prefer that my kids get exposed to other kids from all walks of life - which you don’t get at a 50k a year private.

My kids went from public schools to state colleges (UVA, William & Mary, and VCU) and I retired nearly 15 years early with plenty of money.  There’s no way I’d give all of that up just for some private school bumper sticker to put on the back of a Volvo. [/quote]

Not discounting any of what you wrote but lets be honest here, you would have still retired about 15 years early had you sent them to private making that kind of money.[/quote]

Not likely.  We had four kids.  That kind of tuition would have eaten up a couple hundred thousand a year, which also wouldn’t have been invested and provided compounded returns.  [/quote]

It’s honestly hilarious how often you post about how you made sure you and only you got the benefits of you working in biglaw. All public K-12 all in-state schools, none of the face time with a middle class dad. Cool! [/quote]
