Wondering how much people pay in tuition… 100%? 50%? Did you have to meet with the school to determine how much you will pay?
How did you determine how much tuition you will be paying and is the school ok with it? Do you skimp on tuition and go on vacation or splurge on other things?

DH seems to think based off his father that no one pays full tuition except the rich joneses. He feels it’s unattainable. I’m wondering what is actually realistic.

Our school has a whole process to fill out with last year's income, projected income for the next year, amount of children, etc and you have to state all finances and can write at the end why you need a break. They also ask how much you think you can pay. They have a board that decides. It's all through email. If it's not enough you can email further to negotiate.

Where ai live most people don't pay full because full is an insane amount, but I don't know about other places.

Eta we pay about 60%

We pay full but in Baltimore it's still "reasonable." I.e. elementary is appx 11-12k. I have friends in CT who school cost like 30k so we could never afford that.

I was planning on paying full even though I can’t afford it even remotely, but I found out the bill was double (literally) what I was expecting. So now I’m applying for financial aid to pay the lowest amount possible, which will be too much anyways
