[quote=Anonymous]I can't really answer your question, OP.  Part of the "extra life style" is private schools, big house in nice neighborhood near work downtown, household help/nannies, a second home, etc.  We haven't had grad school loans for years and neither of us had college loans.

Basically, you work with what you have, right?  So, if I didn't have the income I do, I wouldn't do these things.

We are a family of four with a pretty serious dining out and WholeFoods habit.  Maybe, if that is of interest, you could budget an extra $1500 a month for groceries and eating out.  Other than that, everything we have is fluff that sounds irrelevant to you.

Oh, and we like to be able to travel last minute (by plane) if we need to for family things and rent a really nice beach house for a week in the summer.  We take a fancier vacation every couple of years, but nothing too crazy.  And we save for college.  Other than college savings, I would say you could get to the travel at will and beeach house thing by adding $6,000 to your annual budget if you have zero in for vacations and air travel now.

I can't think of anything else we spend money on that you haven't already rulled out.  Was that somewhat responsive to your question?
