[quote=Anonymous]First, we used all my salary to pay off student loans when we got married. Took 2 years to knock out 70K in student loans. We kept mortgage low (145K ish and then down to 0) before we had kids or shortly thereafter. We pay cash for cars and pay off credit cards every month. I think the key is that we got rid of some expenses before we had kids and then we kept housing costs low by living in THs or SFHs that we could afford without a mtg or with a smaller mtg. Essentially we delayed making more expenses (i.e. kids) until we were solidly above water with other debts. [/quote]
