I've spent the last 2 years getting my life back on track after becoming a single mum to 3 year old dd. My career is going well and we rent a small modest terraced in a nice area.
Dd attends pre school in a local independent school - the cost is the same as other local nurseries so it was a no brainier to send her there.
She is due to start reception in just under 2 years and I am starting to consider primary schools. She has the opportunity to go to another local independent on a 50% bursary- which would mean me paying around £500 per month for the first couple of years (obviously the annual fees increase year on year)
My dilemma is, if I send her to the independent school I will never be in a. Position to save for a mortgage in the future. Meaning we will rent for the foreseeable.
Wwyd? Would you put your child's education first or focus on securing a mortgage?
