[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]I can’t relate to people who say they could not save for college because their kids went to private school.

Since our country offers free school thru high school but not free college, why would you finance the former before ensuring you could cover the  latter?[/b][/quote]

Some of us choose to send our children to private school for religious reasons.  We have a right to raise our children in our faith.  In many other countries, these religious schools would be partially subsidized by the government.  Other parents may have children who would flounder in public school (due to learning disabilities, introversion, etc.).  The early years of education are the most foundational.[/quote]

You do have the right, but others should not pay for your right.  Its your value and your choice.  You can comfortably raise kids in your faith without the specific religious school you choose.  If you can afford it, great, but if not, its not fair to expect others to subsidize it or put your kids in huge debt for college.  We have a child who had severe SN and needed a lot of therapies and private for the first few years.  We were not high income, I had to quit my job to make it work BUT we still managed to save for college early on as we lived modestly in the house and cars and other lifestyle choices.  It can be done.[/quote]
