[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our HHI is about what yours is, we have 1 in daycare, and we have almost $2k/month in law school loans. We live in the District, though we rent. We are certainly not living paycheck-to-paycheck. We save just about $3k/month. [/quote] Our HHI is similar to yours as well. We have 1 toddler in daycare, mortgage on a small house we bought in 2008 in a nice neighborhood in N. Arlington, but no other debt. On an annual basis, we put about 60% of our after tax income into savings and college funds. We track our expenses every month. It's helpful to see where the money is going and it motivates us to be better about brown bagging lunch and reducing takeout dinners, etc. [/quote] PP do you use a software package to track expenses or are you just really diligent? I would like to do the same, but am so lazy about it...[/quote]
