[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Re-reading, I see how comment can be taken that way. My point was simply that I actually don't (right now) have an extra 50k to which I'm setting fire in a back room. We honestly would be stretched too thin, at least with the debts we need to cancel out and the fact we're only just started on retirement savings. I stand by my assertion that in our case, it is better for us to hold off on applying to schools over a certain price point.

As someone on FA I think you may be underestimating if it's possible. Most schools that provide FA also provide assistance for enrichments and after school programs. We also don't have family in the are and so it all falls on us for emergencies, pickups, etc. However, for us choosing private was important and worth the sacrifice. That it what it will need to be for you -- worth it. If it's not, then your choice to not pursue it now is the right one, financial aid or not. Even with FA our monthly payment is someone's mortgage, so it is still a huge financial commitment for us. [/quote]
