[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] I tend to agree that it's not worth the hassle, but I don't agree that the money over the years is a waste for a good education.[/quote] Well, it depends on the trade-offs. If, even with FA, OP can't save for her own retirement, I don't think that paying for private school is worth the expense--especially given that there are excellent public school pyramids in MontCo and NOVA. If you're talking about the difference between buying a bigger house in upper NW or foregoing vacations to send your child to private school, then, yes, I would agree with you that private school tuition is not a waste of money. But on $65K/year, it sounds like OP can't make ends meet without sacrificing something as basic as her own retirement savings or a safety net of 6 months salary, then I don't think that the tuition dollars are worth it.
