Does anyone have a HHI less than 100k?

Yep. Cannot imagine having HHI of 100K. DH just got a 15k raise and we're finally feeling not quite so panicky every month after living on 50K for so long.

Heck yes, I do.

Hovering around $88K after lots of time and experience with the organization. Single parent. Feeling lucky.

Same here, only I just got bumped from $82,000 to $85,000. Enough, but not enough for adequate college and retirement savings, especially as DD is headed to college in 2 years.

+1 I am the PP who nets about $50k between my boyfriend and myself and I actually just started a new job with a $13k raise. I was making $35k beforehand. It is great to have some breathing room now and extra money after bills are paid to save something!

Yup, 91,000 in Rockville.

You should probably not be on a thread that was created for people making $40k less than you do. Some people here ONLY make $40k.

Family of five here. Our gross was $99k in 2013. It was a very stressful year.

Single parent teacher who makes just over $50K. I don't count on child support because I usually don't get any.

Family of 4 with 92K HHI.

Money is tight. No impulse purchases, strict budget.
Our biggest expenditure is our mortgage. After-school activities cost a lot too. Public school in our posh neighborhood is fine. Saving for retirement and college.

We are happy.
