[quote=Anonymous]OP, I will try to answer your question because DH and I actually had a $1500/month mortgage on our first house and that was before we had kids, so no childcare costs. I was making ~$35K and DH was making ~$80K when we bought the house, when we sold five years later we were up to ~$45K and ~$120K which was VERY comfortable with that mortgage and some student loans as well (maybe $800/month? it's been a while.) We paid cash for a 3-series, did a summer share at the beach, and took one two-week European vacation and another to California during this time period without really watching our money at all. Ugh, why did I buy this house and have kids again? Just kidding.[/quote]
