[quote=Anonymous]A little over $200K HHI. 90% income from one spouse with the other staying at home until kids left elementary. 2 Kids who are now in HS, one about to graduate. Live in exurbs in a big, new house we bought a few years ago. Have enough 529 savings to pay for instate college (tuition, fees, room and board) for both. We get fast food/take out a lot. Take advantage of travel/credit card rewards to minimize costs for a decent vacation each year. Younger HS kid does a travel sport, which is $$$. 3 cars (1 paid off) and car insurance is crazy and about to be more crazy with soon to be 4 drivers. We both do about 10% in retirement savings, save about $700 a month for college, but besides that we are treading water (savings account isn't increasing or decreasing). Money seems tightest it has ever been since we first got married at 22/23 years old, but if we had to have some things we could cut.[/quote]
