[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]HHI $150k. We live in a townhouse in the suburbs, drive older cars, and do not feel the need to impress anyone with anything. We have one in private at $30,000/year and we're doing just fine. It's all a matter of priorities. [/quote]

This is sad.  You are going to die when your kid goes to college and is around other kids doing just as well and the parenrs are not living in a townhouse and driving older cars.  Unless your children have learning disabilities or are genuiuses, you're sacrificing way too much.  Your kid will probably end up talking to a therapist about it one day.  My in-laws did something similar and now my husband realizes how foolish they were.  His dad has had to work a few more years before retirement and for little to no benefit.  [/quote]

Not PP - but seriously you think my kid is going to end up in therapy because we live in a townhouse?  Wow....  [/quote]

No.  Because you're clearly sacrificing your life to send your kid to private school.  Maybe your kid isn't even interested in higher education?  It seems like a lot of pressure.  I would feel awful if mynparents lived In a crappy home and drove all cars just for my schooling. My husband feels awful that his parents are still workig because they sent their kids to private school for no good reason.  [/quote]
