[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My husband makes $250k as a local professor but we use public.  We simply don't have $60k for 2 private tuitions.  His colleagues who use private often have grandparents pay (I can think of 2 families off the top of my head). Friends of ours who have two kids at Sidwell (dad is a professor and mom makes about 120k/year) live paycheck to paycheck.  As in, they don't buy food the week prior to payday because they often have an empty checking account.[/quote]

Not being intrusive about your personal situation, but I think in many cases, the local professors' incomes are likely supplemented with a spouse's income (I know cases where both work, and where only the academic does). Perhaps your friends have other big expenses in house payments and the like. Because, on these boards, many individuals have declared their HHI to be less than 100 K , or MUCH less than 100K, and go to private school, using Financial Aid, Loans, Grandparents, relying on cheap cars, skimpy or no vacations, etc. [/quote]
