With both of us working and raising 4 kids, I chose to use the 'mantra' below when we put the kids in private school. It included some money put away every month to cover those unexpected incidents that seem to plague families who live on a tight budget (i.e., unexpected sudden trip to Holland when a parent died, auto repairs, hospital bills not covered by insurance). The money we could put aside was sometimes a great deal less that we would have liked but it was at least something. Maybe this was my motivation of living within our means.
