  • I had a child I couldn't afford private education for them.

    Wouldn't the cost of your kitchen alone basically pay for a kid to go through private secondary school?

    Everything is relative and huge respect for making a success of a difficult sounding background. You have clearly had to work super hard to get to where you are, and that's of course different to having it all handed to you for nothing. But if your income is off the scale, you are rich, regardless of anything else. Enjoy it!

    I still wouldn't send my kids to private school.

    Maybe for a year or two?

    The problem with PE is that you have to keep paying the fees...for like twelve years (ok, a bit less if you just do secondary). And if you stop paying the fees, and send lemonade jnr to a state school you kinda drop in an instant all the advantage you might have gained from paying them in the first place up to that point.

    You really have to be certain that you can make it all the way through. If you aren't certain it's a massive risk.

    This so much also!

    What millenial/zoomer can say that I will earn certain salary plus inflation for the rest of my professional life?

    This wasnt the case for boomers or gen x.
