School fees
« on: September 12, 2007, 12:13:18 PM »
I feel almost sick to my stomach.

I am about to pay $30,000 for two of my three kids school fees for the year.

The other one we pay monthly...but adds to about 10k.

That is $40,000 in total...for school fees.

I need a drink.

:huh :(

Is this college?  If so, that's relatively cheap.

It's private school.

Unfortunately the public system here is terrible...I really really wish it wasn't.

Tiger...no, not college.  It is for my oldest who is 8 and my middle child who is 6.

Please don't get me thinking about college...this is bad enough.

Be thankful, I would. You have children. You have a choice regarding their schooling. You can afford to pay for better schooling. Many are not so fortunate. I know that I could not hope to afford to pay $10K+ per child for private schools. I wish I could have. If you have them in GOOD private schools, it is money well spent.

Oh I'm thankful...I just fnd it astonishing that I have to pay THAT MUCH for two kids (8 and 6) to go to school...for a year.

I just showed the cheque to a couple who work here and who have just had their first baby (and are talking about a second now).

The look on the guy's face was priceless.

The school is excellent....it better be.

Uncle Sam paid for most of mine, but due to a couple of times butting heads with a Colonel, I'm having to pay it back.
