Beretta - I can't say I entirely disagree with - you make some very valid points.

I will say that I know plenty of people with kids in crappy public schools around here who have single car payments in excess of what it would take to send their children to a private school. To me, it's all about choices. Plenty of people choose to let the state educate their kids while they maintain a higher standard of living at home.

We send ours to fairly "blue-collar" area private schools, and last year 100% of the seniors went on to four year colleges. First kid tuition there is about $6800 per year (plus incidentals). Second kid gets a discount, so the combined is $11K+. What's the average car payment for a soccer mom with a new Suburban or Escalade?
