[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here’s some perspective. 28 and 29. 165k HHI. 20k in retirement, 5k savings/emergency fund. Perpetual renters. DC is milking us dry.[/quote] Agreed, I'm starting to look elsewhere since my husband has 100% telework. As for me, 29 and 31 dual feds. HHI is currently 165k as we're both 12s, and at the top of our ladders so we'll only be getting step increases for the foreseeable future. Have two kids: 2 years and 8 months with both attending daycare at 1700 a month. We have 85k left in college loans, 6k in savings/emergency, 319k mortgage (2050 a month), 70k in TSP at 5% to get the matching, and a $600 car payment at 0%. We bought way out for $360k several years ago and I commute in once a week to keep our housing costs down. We haven't even started a fund for our kids colleges. We decided to stop at 2 kids since it'll coincide with several of our loans (car and husband's student loans) will finish around the same time.[/quote]
