[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why would someone with an income of 450k even start this conversation? [/quote]
It sounds like this is fairly recent income, so that for one. 
I have no idea what Ops financial situation is but we are similar. Started making a lot right before the kids went to college because husband was now earning as a surgeon.  we had years of retirement savings and med school debt to catch up on. It goes much faster than you’d think. 
To the poster who said just pay it out of pocket - haha. Take out your taxes, mortgage, and living expenses and most people couldn’t write a check for $80K which did what many privates cost, especially if you have more than one kid.

Life is about choices.  Your husband being a doctor and you screaming poverty is sad.  We make far less than OP and I just wrote a check for a $50K car paying cash.  [/quote]
Never did I complain about “poverty”. No where. You are making that up. 
I still can’t send my kid to an Ivy League with no aid.  My kid will go to state school because I believe it’s smarter to graduate without debt. Kids are not owed $320k undergrad educations despite what this board tries to push. [/quote]
