Yes, 2 kids, but the second will not be there for couple of years as they do not do Kindergarten.
But yes, when they are both there, 300k each and then transport to and from daily and all the extra extra crap you have to dish out for.
A friend and I were talking about this 2 days ago. Another friend in Singapore has just almost completed schooling 2 kids, said it cost him $1million all up.
My friend said...no kids by the way...when does he expect to get a return of that investment !!!
We always talk of the huge cost of education and often you hear...'its an investment in the future of your children'....well thats a croc a crap, its a cost in the future of your children. Pointless looking at it as an investment. With an investment you seek a return of your principle and a profit per year from it. Here all you do is spend it and you do not get a monetary return of principle or profit on that $1million.
But you do get a lot of joy if your children grow up smart and well educated and end up with good jobs or better still, businesses of their own and that makes it worthwhile. But do not try to fool yourself that it is an investment, it is a cost and a cost that you should be glad to incur.
By the way, this thread has generated some very good information re the school I was looking into, both here in the thread and by PM's and via another 2 forums which I joined to seek more info.
This is far more information in a much much shorter timeframe than what I got from TV when I posted it over there end of last year or earlier this year.....so just proves this is a good site with good people and not the fools most people think you are
