[quote=Anonymous]We feel lucky, but have not escaped by any means.  Lucky to have a roof over our head and food on our table, but not anywhere near the position we planned on.  Bought the fixer upper in a good neighborhood in 2005 and spent several years fixing it up only to find all of our investment will not pay off.  We had anticipated moving by now (too small for the family we now have), but couldn't get much more for it than what we paid - before pouring $$ into it for improvements.

Unfortunately for the long term, cutting back has meant we aren't saving as we should be - for either retirement or college way down the road.  We had planned on private schools (DH and I both went), and have a hard time not being bitter that, having done everything 'right' we will not be able to provide for our kids the way our parents provided for us.  And we are better educated and work a LOT harder and longer.

So we're making do, but still know we're far, far better off than most just in having two good, stable jobs and not wanting for the necessities.  [/quote]
