[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, we make $120k combined. No real bonus structure in either of our jobs. We have 3 kids. Live in a 2 bedroom townhouse so it’s cozy. We live in south Arlington in an area that commonly is discussed on here as trashy and low- rent but it’s what we can afford. Our jobs tie us to this region so no leaving. We don’t vacation more than day trips to the beach or hikes. The kids don’t really know different at this point.

I guess I should be upset we aren’t in a position to show them the world, but we have money to put food on the table and save a tiny bit each month. Though at this point buying a bigger house is likely out of the question. [/quote]

Thank you for sharing! We are currently pregnant - after many many rounds of fertility treatment and we are so grateful. Thinking ahead and I have a flexible job that I can only do in a big city - very very high col. And DH and I always said we would love for one of us to stay home. Financially and have we don't want to outsource but it would mean cutting way back. DH has Amazing benefits and stability. Most years I tech make more but that's no guarantee and if I go part time that goes down or take any leave I'm making zero dollars since I work for myself. I don't know. DH feels pressure to get a higher paying job but he's also been at his job for 12 years and realistically I don't see it happening. He's bringing in around 98 right now again with fantastic benefits and healthcare. [/quote]
