[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Private school cost after aid and grandparent contributions is $10k per year per kid for K-6; will double to $20k for grades 7-12. Three kids. Gross HHI of $185k on upward trajectory. Mortgage costs $30k per year. No car loans or other major expenses. [/quote] So, I'm a huge advocate of public school plus 2x / week weekly tutoring. We pay $175 / hr for our tutoring (he's amazing! - massive test score increases and progress for my kid), and we probably see him 30 weeks out of the year. Probably comes out to close to $10k / year (maybe get Grandparents to pay for this instead and save yourself the $40k / year associated with private school). [/quote] This is what we do. Kids are thriving and going on fancy vacations :D [/quote]
