Yes you may.

Or I better hustle up some good luck in the next 3 years.

I'm lucky really...where I live the grade schools are decent and in the neighborhood....after that ...no way.

Decent private school is around 10-15K after you add it all in...per child....I'll have two boys a grade apart.

Same for the girls in college. The oldest will probably opt for public college...nothing fancy...she'll want to get educated..party...get a job...find a decent hombre.

My younger daughter is smarter than I am...maybe 150-170 or so IQ and is very disciplined. She will be a professional to start...I have no doubt but her maternal drive will kick in. We'll have to see how it goes...if she wants it for real...I'll be there or my estate will.

I have a pediatrician friend who got married and has 2 children and now only practices 2 days a week...of course her husband is also a doc so they can do that.

Hell...my uncle who is a doc as well in Jacksonville, gets 18K for a 48 hour stint twice a month on weekends as head emergency trauma surgeon at the major hospital there. He stays at the hospital on call for 2 days and sleeps in his "relax room" between big emergencies. 36K per month for 96 hours/4days work....I could handle that...lol

He also teaches.

Community colleges are great. You get your Associate's there and the whole thing transfers to any university they have an arrangement with. I did that and ended up getting a fellowship to a Master's program. And you get more personal attention at community colleges, the profs there aren't a bunch of class snobs trying to publish.
