I went through this right now with a my bosses, former bosses, 2 colleagues, 2 neighbors, and 1 friend.

Most of them moved to an area with a better school district, because they couldn’t afford 12 years of private school for 2 kids (and these are double income, higher income families)…The remaining ones were very well off families: didn’t blink about shelling out $20-30k/year per kid, and aren’t thinking about trying to save $100-200k on a home purchase.
