[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We can still save almost the max into TSP and some 529 savings with 290 HHI, but nothing beyond that (we're military). We take small trips to see family and eat out only a couple of times a month. All kids (3) have basic IKEA stuff in their rooms and we use the refinished furniture we inherited. My dream purchase would be a brand new bed/mattress and some IKEA sofas right now, but we can't afford it.[/quote] Unless OP is also military this isn’t going to be equivalent. A good percentage of your HHI, especially in this area isn’t taxable, you may have one or all of your kids at a CDC or be eligible for a DoD subsidy on market, and if you bought your home might not have had to put $$ down. Otherwise without some of those (well-deserved) benefits, maxing your TSPs with three kids in daycare here isn’t that feasible. [/quote]
