[quote=Anonymous]HHI is $160, 1 kid in private. We afford it by with a $1,300/mo mortgage (little house in PG county), old cars, and frugality in general. We have become budget whizes. We do it, basically, because our kid's education, and how he spends his days for the first 18 years of his life are our priority. Public school would have been our first choice, but our local school fails to teach almost half its students to read on grade level, so it wasn't going to happen. My own hobby is gardening, and so I wanted a SFH with at least a little yard. After running the math, we find that a SFH in a fantastic school district will cost us the same or more, on a monthly basis, as the fantastic school my kid now attends. If housing or even being well-to-do were among our top 3 family priorities we'd probably move, but neither are...so private it is! [/quote]
