[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We live in a crappy house inside the beltway with two kids and have never gotten close to $150k HHI. We don't max out retirement, save enough for college nor have a comfortable emergency fund. Medical bills derail our financial situation for years at a time. But, it's OK. We're not poor and our kids have never gone hungry. I devalue most of what the OP says when they use words like "so poor" to describe their situation. [/quote] I could’ve written this. But I’ve started pulling all my 401Ks together from various jobs rollled them all into IRAs and quadrupled money that sat stagnant for years because someone on this site said to do that. We are at $140HHI in an inner beltway $400K MoCo s*hole with no renovations but tons of equity. we drive hybrids/EVs. I don’t feel “poor” but I don’t buy luxury items and expensive name brand food. Also our vacation budget is $3000 or less which is 1 trip per year[/quote]
