[quote=Anonymous]I don't know, I think there are a lot of DCUMs who make a LOT of money and can't imagine living any other way. But it is possible, OP. My DH makes $125K as a federal employee. I do freelance work but pull in less than $6K/year. I've been primarily a SAHM for 11 years. We have three kids, own a smallish but nice house in a nice MoCo neighborhood, send one child to a (relatively) reasonably priced private school and the other two to publics, and have excellent college and retirement savings in place. We own both of our cars. We just don't spend a lot on things that many of our friends and neighbors, do, i.e. going out to eat a lot, babysitters, theatre tickets, gym memberships, cable TV, pricey phone plans. I buy most of my and the kids' clothes at thrift stores and we don't buy books, we use the library. But I love our lifestyle and other than traveling a little more and eating out more often, there's nothing I'd really change. DH had the opportunity to pursue a job that would have earned considerably more in a rural area in the Northeast, and we decided he wouldn't because we like living here.[/quote]
