[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you are living that close to the edge, you shouldn't be in private school to begin with. My sister's kids are all in private school and she can't afford to buy blinds for her new house. [/quote]

this!

we have money set aside so that no matter what happens to us financially our kids won’t be impacted. It’s CRAZY to have your kids in a school that depends on your employment. [/quote]

I mean, is it crazy to have bought a house based on employment?  People make choices based on the most likely future scenario.   You have no idea why her kids are in private [/quote]

True, but in reality, unless you have 12Month+ emergency fund, fully funded for life as you currently know it, you shouldn't be doing private school in most cases.  Because job loss is a thing, and I personally woudlnt' want to have to yank my kids out of school and move them elsewhere mid year, unless it involved an actual physical move for work.  So I wouldn't put mine into private until I could withstand getting thru the year no matter what.  I also wouldn't do private until I could also be well set for college, because attending college is more important to me than attending private K-12.

Yes! I know people whose kids are taking out loans for college, but they went to k12 private school. If I were their kids, I would appreciate no loans more than private school! (And their public school is totally fine!) Seems very irresponsible to me. [/quote]
