[quote=Anonymous]When my husband and I got married, I was finishing up a PhD program. While enrolled, I had fellowships to cover tuition and some living expenses. We saved any extra money that I earned through part time jobs and lived off of his salary for 4 years. We have no debt except for some low interest student loans and our mortgage. He doesn't make a lot for this area, but we've just gotten really disciplined about how we spend our money. I'm now a stay at home mom, but I work part time in my field (at night and one some weekends when my husband can be home with the kids) and everything I make goes into our kids' college funds. We have a pretty simple lifestyle. How we live isn't for a lot of people, but we're comfortable. Day care costs would have eaten up my salary anyhow. [/quote]
