[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]$170k, 1 kid.  We went private for MS, may stay private but prefer public HS.  DC has more good HS options than MS.  [/quote]

Since this is anonymous, may I ask you 2 questions (ballpark answers obviously are fine, don't have to be exact):

1. About how much is your total annual school costs (tuition, books, before/after care if you use it) for private middle school?

2. About how much is your mortgage or rent?

Our HHI is less than yours, we have 1 kid, and I'm trying to get a ballpark (even though I know there are a million other variables) to how your situation compares to ours.  I would have assumed we could never afford private MS (we can barely afford aftercare at our current charter!) but I honestly haven't looked at the tuitions, so I really don't know.[/quote]

How did you afford daycare?  I think you can find a decent private equivalent to the cost of daycare (average $15k for daycare being used).[/quote]

We just moved to DC at the end of last summer.  In the city we moved from, DC was at one of the best daycare's in the city, placed in PS-3 at 2 yrs old, hours 6:30am-6:30pm, and that cost us $170/month with no subsidy.  That's how we afforded it![/quote]
