[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have similar income. Yes, our mortgage is 7200. We have 4 kids. Life is expensive. We live ok. Decent house , but one that needs 39 new windows and new heat that is in a good neighborhood and not that far from DC. We go to Disney every year. We have the kids enrolled in 1 activity each. But I find it interesting that people are so angry at people who essentially have a house and can take vacation. I shop Costco, outlet malls, tjmaxx and target. I don’t have a cleaning lady.  I don’t have expensive cars. No European vacation. No fancy house stuff. I have 50% ikea. While, yes this is a good life, it’s not a RICH life. So much hate here though. [/quote]

You want empathy with a $7200 mortgage.  You choose an expensive house vs saving for college.  You choose 4 kids vs 2.   You don’t get it. [/quote]

+1 we have a similar HHI but a $3700 mortgage.  Guess what, both our kids are at Ivies -- full pay.

Disney is really expensive.  Disney is generally a once in a life time trip for most families after they save up for 5-10 years.  [/quote]

Its only inexpensive if they are active or retired military.  Then, its I forget but maybe $300-350, but that would add up with 4 kids.  And, you can stay at the value hotel for $100-150 or so a night depending on when you go but I don't with that kind of mortgage they'd stay at the value hotel and they'd need two rooms or a suite.[/quote]
