Is paying school fees difficult for average income earners?

[Kross]

One of the fears of most young people that are eligible to be parents is the fact that they have to be paying school fees. That's because most of them are average income earners. Is it very difficult to be paying school fees amongst other living expenses as an average income earner?

 

[Fire&Rain]

Its very difficult. I rely only on online earnings and my kids school fees alone is $72 a month. And that's not including monthly school activities they always have.

I think that with proper planning and two parents effectively collaborating properly, school fees can be relatively easy for average income earners.

You have to be paying school fees every three months. And some are very expensive. It is not easy for average income earners to meet up.

Yes it can be pretty difficult, though if they have proper plans in place, it might not be that difficult.

Yes, Increased prices for basic necessities like food, transportation, and utilities directly impact household budgets, leaving less disposable income for school fees.

I don't mock people that struggle to pay school fees for their wards. But I believe staying true to your financial level and having proper financial plans can help.

In our country, government funded community schools and colleges are still affordable for average income people

Indeed, paying for school fees can be extremely challenging for those with average incomes. For this reason, having a stable financial situation is essential before beginning a family, particularly with children. Tuition is very costly here, particularly for private schools.

School fees are quite expensive in our city. For those families who cannot afford to pay school fees, they can always apply for subsidies from the school or the government.

I have come to realize that most times even with proper planning, some unexpected expenses can still take place most times as well.

The thing with all those government funded schools is that they don't have as much quality as the private schools.

Yes, it's difficult if your kids are studying in a private school or college where the fees is too high.

 

[Springtime]

Here, children are entitled to receive 9 years free education. After that, you may apply to study in government subsidized school where school fees are afforable. And if the family really has financial difficulty, they can apply for reduced school fees.

It is sometimes good to start saving for your children even if you don't have any. In my town, there are companies that help save money but by bits till the money is big, then they'll pay you with interested. This could help pay your child's fee and gives you time to prepare ahead of time
