[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I find complaining that you can't spend money on private school ridiculous and that you think you should get financial aid. I can guarantee you that the average family with a child in private school makes less than $400k/year. You may choose to save money and spend the rest on finding your lifestyle. That is fine. Life comes with choices. Obviously private education isn't that important to you or you would cut back in other areas of your life. But to say that someone should subsidize your choices/lifestyle is so out of touch with reality and is pretty disgusting. [/quote]
Well, I've been clear in my example that I'm talking about two kids in private.  I don't think a family on $400k HHI (again, with only recent earning power, so no wealth accumulated) needs any aid to send a one child to private.

A $5k grant on a $60k tuition bill is a very small amount.  In fact, it's smaller that the subsidy we've created as a society for these families given that they are only in the third highest marginal tax bracket.  By your logic our federal tax code is pretty disgusting.[/quote]
