[quote=Anonymous]I get it, OP. My kid (now in private HS) went to a “good” public middle school. Was in the top math class. DC was assigned literally three books to read in all three years in that good public middle school. Despite being in the top math class, barely tested into regular math in private HS, barely missing remedial math. Got three Cs freshman year first semester and was absolutely shocked by the workload and expectations of private HS. We moved all our kids to private after that, and yes, it is a huge financial burden. I will never in a million years trust people claiming that their public school is “good” after our experience. First, you haven’t clarified how much you actually have saved for retirement. That’s the first question here. Also, where do you want to live in retirement? That is the second question. If you have a good amount saved already, that gives you some options. Third, could you consider downsizing to a condo for the HS years, and put some of the profit from the house into retirement savings? I think there are still some key questions here about retirement that you have to answer before we can really do the budgeting. [/quote]
