[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here - got it folks. My comments were regarding not having liquid savings when deciding to commit to a $60k a year path. Life is all about choices as many have pointed out here and to which we all agree. [b]Helping aging parents in my culture is not a luxury it's an expectation[/b]. So all of these things are things we are factoring in when making our decision as to what we intend to do school wise and when. I've been down and out before and for me am not comfortable with locking ourselves into a decision that would result in not being able to save at all or have to rely on credit cards. Been there and done that. 
We will figure it out as everyone does. I know we are fortunate and blessed in our situation. There are things we can cut back on and things that we value as important that we prefer not to at this point including certain obligations we have to family if the need arises and church tithing etc.

Your culture =/= private school culture.  Unless your parents are your legal dependents, the FA office will not see your own need to support them as a valid use of funds that could go to tuition.

You are indeed fortunate to own so much real estate.  Sell some of it and move into a school district that is acceptable to you.[/quote]
