[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our numbers are very similar to OP. We maintain a fairly middle class lifestyle by living off salaries for day to day expenses. We don’t scrimp or budget, but we are mindful to spend less each month than our take home pay. Our housing costs are low due to good timing in a recent refinance, but we also live in an extremely middle class neighborhood. We are happy here. However, we don’t save (other than 401k withdrawals) from the salary funds. As bonuses and stock vests come in each quarter, we use those funds for the things that move our life from middle class to wealthy. That includes tax prepayments, large charitable donations, a healthy vacation fund, and private school tuition. Every few years we might buy a car or do a big house project. We invest the remaining funds, which is ultimately way more than we spend.[/quote] Do you find paying for private school, rather than moving to a place with a good public school system, to be better?[/quote]
