[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have made cuts in other areas and live really like paupers (or "the millionaire next door").  We live "poorer" than most other people we know, but to us, it's important to send her to the private school.  For example, we have no tv at home, no internet at home, drive two paid-for cars, I wear the same clothes from Target basically like every day, and we do a lot of things that other people eschewed on the "what cheap things have you seen people do" thread.

That said, I have another friend who lives pretty "high on the hog" and he was saying, "We just couldn't afford private school," and I really had to sit on my hands and bite my tongue not to say anything.  [/quote]

What will you do when your car conks out and you need to buy a new one?  When your roof starts leaking and you get the bad news that you need to replace it?  What will you do when your mom gets sick and you have to buy multiple airplane tickets out to see her through her chemotherapy and help her get moved into a nursing home?  What are you going to tell your child when   homework assignments start coming home which require access to the internet?  Where are you going to get the extra cash when tuition goes up?

How are you going to pay for your health care 35 years from now?

You can't really afford it either.

Also, if you do a lot of  the things people "eschew" on the "what cheap things have you seen people do" thread, you may also be a petty thief but that is another matter.[/quote]
