[quote=Anonymous]It is worth it for us. BUT We are frugal folk who don't care about material things. We invest in our children's education (good public school that caters to special needs, therapies for our SN child, enrichments, etc), we invest in real estate, and we have international travel expenses to visit our families abroad. This leaves exactly nothing left over for "consumables" like cable or eating out. We have explained to the kids that this is not the usual American lifestyle of their rich friends or the one portrayed on TV. However, this is the best we can do on our budget and with our priorities. With 2 kids, that's how we manage to live in a cute house in Bethesda on a 120K income.[/quote]
