As long as they aren't taking 5 vacations a year and eating out every other night this is just not true.

I have one kid in private school in BR and tuition, summer camp and aftercare runs about 14k. Nola is probably more expensive but that's 42k after taxes for 3 before you even start talking about anything else. Easily about 1/3 of 200k (net) is gone before you start considering other expenses. Now you have a family of 5 in an expensive city with like 90k to spare. Good luck

Ok, I'm looking at things a little different I guess.
For grades 1-7 they will be paying between $4500 and $5,000 a year on tuition.

There are also charter and magnet schools to consider in Nola and Jefferson Parish and yes the northshore has good free schools.

Would mom or someone else be able to help out during the summer? Does everyone have to send there kids to after care every day?

Once the oldest kid is 15 they can start watching the others during the summer some weeks.

I didn't read the whole thread so sorry if I'm responding about things already covered.
