Our child has been going to the same private school since she was three. Three years now. I feel that we need to put her into public school, and my wife agreed until just recently, when the school awarded us several thousand dollars more in aid.
Now, instead of the tuition being 22.5% of our income, it would be 14.5% of our income. My wife wants to do it.
I feel that we could take the money we would be saving by doing public school – which, combined with our current savings, would be 30% of our income – and invest that money into ourselves. We don't have health insurance, for example. We could also use that money to save a lot more, to the point where we could start investing it. We could use a little to allow our child to learn to play an instrument, go to art camps, etc. We could take a vacation or even a staycation (it's been years!). We could do so much more with this money... Heck, we could start a college fund...
I'm at a loss here. "/
