[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I do think it is a little ridiculous to both not work and insist on private school.[/quote]

Agree. I’m a SAHM and private school would be a non-starter with my husband. He doesn’t quite make $500/k but it wouldn’t matter to him if he did. He is focused on college and retirement savings and generational wealth building. Private secondary school is just a badge like a luxury car or country club (we don’t those either.)[/quote]

Interesting. On the one hand I agree (wanting private but not working) on the other, presumably the wife has backed up a lot at home if OP is making that much money.

But the idea of "generational wealth building" - is that really more important than a good education? My spouse and I together make less than 1/2 of what your husband makes - and money isn't our #1 value - but I would always invest in private first (if it was different)[/quote]

We make 1/4 of OP and at times have paid for private as that was what was best for our child.  I'd love to go back to private but my child prefers public.  We do private school classes in the summer (and they really aren't any different except having text books).[/quote]
