[quote=Anonymous]We make $125K with slightly higher fixed expenses (rent, student loans, daycare) that are the equivalent of living on $100K with your expenses (with no daycare). Of course it is doable, but for us it is tight. We are frugal in almost everything, but I believe it's worth paying to rent in a nice neighborhood (short commute, very little driving on weekends) and for a good daycare/preschool. We take one expensive vacation a year to visit far-off family. We aren't saving as much for retirement and college as I would like, but we are living within our means. I have started tracking every penny we spend on a free Pearbudget spreadsheet and am amazed by how the little things add up (batteries, cough medicine, stuff like that).[/quote]
