Private schools are the most expensive placebo in America. Nowhere else will you pay $250k+ for something that has so little impact on school achievement. My latest on why private school isn't worth the cost: ofdollarsanddata.com/why-private-sc…

@jackusherr I agree in theory, but I have strong feelings that every person should have their separate accounts/assets. I believe this is even more true for women who, historically, didn't have the means to escape abusive relationships because no money was under their control.

Big fan of Nick and his blog. This is one area where I strongly disagree with the recommendation. You'll save so much mental and emotional energy by going all in on shared bank accounts and building on a foundation of trust and honesty.
Nick Maggiulli@dollarsanddata

There's a simple solution to this: -Joint bank account (all income goes in, all shared expenses come out) -Each spouse keeps separate account -Any surplus (in joint account) gets split (50/50) and sent to separate accounts -For big purchases, each party deposits back into joint

@aburghalhidage But then it becomes a job at that point and the “returns” aren’t apples to apples as you would need to compare your profit to a 9-5 income.

@dollarsanddata Yes. But this also misses the return on hassle itself. A handful of properties get progressively easier to manage over time as you get better at it and more familiar with the assets and then the leverage really starts to do its work. Much harder to get better at the markets.

Even if your rental properties do outperform the market (unlikely), when you include the "return on hassle", it's not even close. The cost of your time, dealing with tenants, etc., is far higher than a few percentage points a year.
Mikli@CryptoMikli

Caleb Hammer reveals his biggest money mistake was buying rental properties instead of investing in the market “I made decent money, but I would have made so much more money by just being in the market instead of focusing on that. My rental properties back in my home state, I am fully exiting them and just putting the money in the market.”

@pjcombss Even simpler—have no money. Then there’s nothing to split

@dollarsanddata Simpler solution, get divorced. Marriage is one. Not separate.

My best friend is 36 years old. He’s been married for 7 years, but they still don’t have a joint bank account. He and his wife literally Venmo each other for half a meal out, or half of the gas bill. How do I kindly explain to him that they are acting like unserious children?

@cactusmaac You can compare the two (even with leverage). It’s just math. My argument is that after transaction costs (and paying rental managers) you’d net out behind an index investor

@dollarsanddata Can't compare the two given you can use leverage for rental property acquisition pretty easily. And hiring professional managers/letting to quality tenants takes most of the hassle out.

@dollarsanddata private equity is always telling you to rent while they buy thousands of properties.

@CaptainCons Agree, but also, one of us would've saved $250k. I don't think that's trivial here.

oh no I read that part - but I contend that it's worth it for those who can afford it as well. My point is ultimately, it doesn't matter if its high school or college, they both serve the purpose that you found by going to Stanford yes, there are outliers who come from such means that it probably won't matter either way. But if my parents pay $250K to send me to the high school that gets me to Stanford on a full ride or if I take your route to Stanford on a full ride, our degree says the same thing

@Wealth_Mgmt_Guy Read the article is my most common comeback. You'd be surprised (or maybe not) at how often people react without reading through an argument.

@desireehall I think it's a good argument in the extreme, but not on the margin. If I have to choose between a free public school thats a 3 vs. an expensive private one thats a 10, I'll pay for the 10. If I have to choose between a free public 7 and a private 10, I'll choose the 7.

@dollarsanddata the money spent. The actual solve isn’t public vs private, imho, after experiencing both, it is smaller, more local micro schools that utilize all of the coming technology to the kids benefit. That requires a massive overhaul of parents work schedules though, so who knows if

@dollarsanddata nick I think you are missing one factor here which is this may vary by individual. what about kids with special needs? kids with "real" ADHD or learning disabilities. Kids with mild autism? I do think there is a case. "Data" looks at populations. Kids are individuals.

@Louise_Rowntree I think the data is helpful for those on the fence. For some people it makes sense (if there are no good public alternatives or if they lack a network). However, for those with both options, that's where this data can be helpful.

@dollarsanddata There are regularly articles like this on US & UK private schools. I don’t mean this rudely, but why do people who don’t send their children to private schools (ie most parents) care?

@dvassallo I know money isn't everything, but I agree that this kind of lump sum will be hard to beat in terms of lifetime impact.

Good private schools here cost $700K per child from kindergarten through high school. With 3 kids, that’s $2.1M. For a diploma. Just give each kid $700K at 18. That’s a house, a business, or a fully funded retirement account. No chance these schools beat that kind of head start.

@isaiahberg I addressed this in my article. The research suggests that those who can afford private school don't need it (they already have the network) and, ironically, those who can't afford it, do.

I didn't even address this, but with personalized AI-tutoring the entire education system is likely to be revolutionized over the next few decades. One teacher lecturing every student on the same material at the same pace has to be sub-optimal for aggregate learning
