[quote=Anonymous]We bought a townhouse in a nice neighborhood in a good school pyramid for half of what we could comfortably afford. We own one car that M-F is basically used picking up DC from aftercare, then to/from a class once a week. Groceries are WF for produce and Safeway for everything else. We do eat out occasionally, but normally have a coupon. Maxing out retirement, we are currently in our mid 30's and will be able to retire in our mid 50's if we want. We do take nice vacations, but one is a joint family trip (4 couples total, driving distance) which runs us about $3k for 2 weeks and the second is a long weekend. Once we finish renovating the house our vacation budget will go up. That's probably our only splurge because we love to travel, but having a cheaper home and only one car allows us to put more into vacations, savings, and retirement. HHI is around $260k.[/quote]
