My wife and I are starting to test this theory. We are putting our kid in an expensive school, then starting a business to support our lifestyle. If we fail, our kid’ll have to go to a cheaper school and we’d have lost a few years of school fees. If we succeed, yay.

By the time, our are faced with the choice, our kid will be embedded in school so ripping them out of it is going to be a tough choice.

So, yeah, we’re essentially burning our boats and fighting to survive.

Don't live above your means because an unexpected event is likely to happen. Plus creating a situation where all peers are rich and only your kid is not doesn't open the doors to future success compared to if they were at their peers lifestyle level.
