[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Income is fine at $400k combined salary but we have 3 kids. 2 have special needs and will require small class sizes.  All kids did public but now with middle and high school approaching, we think it’s time to move 1-2 kids over to private. Income is enough to not qualify for aid yet 2 tuitions of 40k or so, feels constraining. We don’t typically take lavish trips but wondering how others see this, finance it?[/quote]

You finance it by working and not spending. It’s like when my kids were in daycare and I would hand my entire take home salary over to the daycare provider. Now both of your salaries will be handed over, and you live off of whatever little you’ve managed to save.[/quote]

Having special needs kids comes with a whole other set of expenses so just cutting back spending may not be possible for this family. To the PPP, have you looked into whether you can get the public system to pay for private?  With special needs sometimes you can do that if you can demonstrate that they need something
public isn’t providing. Ask on special needs board. [/quote]
