- RhysU 4y agoMove to a town with good schools despite the property taxes. Property taxes do not scale with the number of children that one has. Cheaper by the, etc.
- HarryHirsch 4y agoFrom what I understand, housing in good school districts tends to be priced above-average. And then there's Oklahoma, not a high-wage state, where public school is so godawful that everyone who can half afford it sends their children to private school. When you have more than one you have a bigger problem. Schooling is part of the issue.
- RhysU 4y agoHome prices are higher, yes. But the higher prices are sticky, especially if local parents tend to get involved in their children's education. You can make up the cost when you sell the home after the kids are gone.
- HarryHirsch 4y agoLow mortgage when you don't need it, high mortgage when you cannot afford one. The country can't stop screwing over the younger generation, can't it?
- RhysU 4y agoYou cannot afford to ill-equip your offspring, beyond a point. It is a loooong game that we all play.
- Teknoman117 4y agoSurely private school is not considered as a required expense...
- HarryHirsch 4y agoTry Oklahoma, it'll change your mind.
- usrn 4y agoMaybe you could substitute it with a very good homeschool co-op. Public school has gotten borderline abusive lately in most places.
- 8note 4y agoIts an alternative to the cost of buying a house in an area with good public schools
- rufus_foreman 4y agoWell then send the kid to a public school, like the schools 90 percent of kids go to. Did you ever consider that?
