[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's threads like these that make me appreciate the area I live in and the lifestyle that allows me to lead.  Our HHI is about $180k.  Our house was $330k (mortgage, PITI is $1700/month), and that bought a new build, 3400 SF home, two miles from downtown.  Our public schools are pretty good.  Child care costs are low.  We are able to max out retirement savings and save for college starting when the kids were babies. The job market here is good, and my husband could replace his job easily if he lost his current one.  Mine would be harder to replace.

It's a low-stress, financially freeing way to live.  I save where I can when it's not too much trouble, but I have no problem dropping cash for the things I want.  Having low living costs really frees you up for all the other things you want.

What part of the country is this? I would guess TX?[/quote]
I'm in Raleigh, NC, but there are a ton of great places to live that don't cost an arm and a leg...TX would be another, but it's a little too hot for me.[/quote]
