[quote=Anonymous]Definitely out of touch given that most families in this area live on less than that. Housing here is incredibly expensive though. We make that much with 2 kids and do fine. The biggest thing is that we bought a condo in an up-and-coming area that appreciated enough to enable us to buy a house in the city that can fit our family. We share 1 car. We send our oldest to a good charter school and pay for childcare for our youngest. We save for retirement and have an emergency and rainy day fund, and college funds for the kids. We go on nice but modest vacations. We have a cleaning lady come every other week. We don't generally worry about money. I do wish we could put more in the kids 529s, take a luxury vacation (hello Beaches!), and remodel our kitchen but it's not a bad life. [/quote]
