Would you do private school if you were us: 3 children, we don't live lavishly but work hard and two incomes are pretty much needed to cover mortgage, childcare, school tuition, two vacations per year. Not in debt (other than huge mortgage) maxing out 401k but no substantial savings beyond that. Zoned for BAD school. Future increase in HHI possible but by no means certain (or dramatic). "Normal" G&T possible for Child 1, not unlikely for Child 2 and unclear at this point for Child 3? [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

Yes they are. This is probably good advice. Although I work FT and would love to have all kids in the same school for simplicity. [ Reply | More ]
