[Closed] We earn £190k a year. Do we need to sell our flat to afford private school fees?

It's like something out the Daily Mash... [i] Their respective careers - in management consultantancy and personal injury law - give them a joint income of £190,000. The couple also own two properties with a combined value of more than £1m, putting them in the wealthiest 1pc of households in Britain. But the pair are worried about becoming “financially broken” as the sheer cost of middle-class life in London means they are stretched to the brink. [/i] [urlI love some of the advice: [i] If we then take into account holidays of say, £5,000 per year [/i]

The way I read it, they're basically benefit scroungers complaining that the state isn't giving them enough cash. I say public flogging for the parents, and send the children to the work house.

The Tories may be trying to put back the clock to Dickensian times, but the personal finance landscape retains some differences from Mr M's era.

I'll stick with Mr Micawber advice to spend a little less than I earn. So far, it seems to have saved me from moaning to the Telegraph.
