[quote=Anonymous]We bought our small house in Bethesda when our HHI was less than 100K, because we had saved up enough for a downpayment of 40%. That was 13 years ago. And now we live in this house on the same HHI with two kids who are now teens. We are more frugal than most, we didn't have daycare costs and we chose public schools. But if you don't pay a downpayment or mortgage, you could do that on a similar salary, I imagine and not be as frugal as we are (especially if you don't have kids yet). Your definition of "middle class life" is crucial to the conversation here, however. [/quote]
