[quote=Anonymous]OP asked about comfort, not ability. Our HHI is around $470K, and even with just one child, and just for HS, we have rejected the idea. Could we pay for it? Sure. Would it be the best decision for us? No. Partly because we're self-funding all of our retirement (no 401K matches, no pensions, no expected inheritance). We can't say for sure that we could do without that $140K invested over the next 20 years. If we needed to send DC to a special needs school, then the calculus would be different. But the advantages of private over the excellent publics here in the DMV are not large enough to justify the cost (which here would be more like $42K/year).[/quote]
