[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes! We make about 350K per year and max out everything. That's sound financial planning. His 5K pension is only about half we'll need in retirement.[/quote]

So, you are comparing yourself to making $350k to other families making $60-100K... and you need $10K a month in retirement.  You sound very high maintenance.  [/quote]

Who makes 60-100K? [b]Most of the military families we know in the DC area are making 200K+[/b]

Not sure what you mean by high maintenance. We are 20+ years from retirement so 10K won't be worth what it is today.[/quote]

Then they don't have SAHMs, they have working wives. [/quote]

+1. Many of our neighbors are both officer and enlisted with working spouses and seem to be doing well. However, their spouses probably make 75k+.[/quote]

Pretty much no military family with a SAHM wife is going to be over the 200k mark.

The military families I know who make 200k+ in HHI have wives that have jobs that require education AND are in demand in a lot of places so they can find good jobs when they move. Think: CPA (I know one of these), pharmacist (I know an officer whose wife is a pharmacist with a major retail chain, which makes it easy for her to transfer), nurse.[/quote]
