But seriously spending 250k every year is incredible. We make 200k and spend about 70k and I feel like we are wasting too much money.

Yeah, I was!

We spend about 50K a year. I can't imagine bragging that I spend "only" 250K.

Getting those fat monthly checks from Google.

Exactly. He is lying about the total income. I appreciate the home schooling and minimalist lifestyle very very much.

I took PP to mean GROSS hhi is $400k and they save $150k. Take home is probably $250k, so I’m guessing they spend about $100k to $120k a year?

Understood. We save around $150/400k we earn.

That's all?

That's a savings rate of 37.5%... not very high. I guess whatever floats your boat, though. Good thing you enjoy working!!

Nope. You’re not taking into account the high taxes we pay. We take home around 275k. So we are saving over 50 percent.

How much of a tightwad are you? You think 37.5 savings rate is not high. Your life sounds miserable.

+1. You can’t take it with you!
