[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"Poor" mom of 2 high schoolers - With a small child support payment from their biological dad - This year, [b]I am borrowing fully from my retirement,[/b] and we are pretty much consumed with regular Ramen & Spaghetti dinners in order to pay tuition at private school for my two children.  I own my home by myself & the public school option in Prince George's County is THAT disturbing - I know it well, my stepson went there for 2 years (my husband of 3 yrs and his son moved out last month for the purpose of sending his son to a different public school - his mom doesn't pay support and this will be the arrangement until the end of next school year because he'll be a senior).  My financial aid award was a total of $10k and $16k is my responsibility.  Already thinking of how to pay the year after - may sell house but need to build equity first or it won't cover it.

Not gonna tell you how you should live your life[b] but that's just about the dumbest thing i've heard[/b].. [/quote]

We're doing this too.  Don't see what's so dumb about it.  Kid couldn't go to private if we didn't. [/quote]

it's dumb because you are sacrificing your retirement. how will you fund your retirement? [/quote]
