I can believe this, depending on the school. Top private schools are in the order of 30k per annum now, so two or three kids and suddenly a 200k pre-tax family income isn't all that. Middling private schools are 15k per annum. I've come out of this survey with 93% poorer than me, we have 2 children in middling private school and no savings - we don't feel rich I can tell you. We would if we used the state education sector though, I'm sure of that.
Still wondering whether I can afford a 750 quid scrap gearbox for my SAAB........
