[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m coming to the sad realization that the basics of a good middle class lifestyle cost a fortune around here. A house with Bedrooms for all the kids, college, annual family vacation, saving for retirement. Is 600k the point where all this becomes doable without financial strain?[/quote] $600K is not middle class.[/quote] Regardless, that's what it costs to live the lifestyle OP wants. Three kids, college paid for, a couple vacations, activities, sleepaway camps, at least a 4 bedroom house. I'd say this is an UMC lifestyle from the 80s and 90s. It's just what it costs now due to the massive appreciation in housing prices.[/quote] That's just not true. We do all of this with $300k and we bought a house in the relative recent past in Arlington. [/quote]
