[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Mc here. We make a lot but also have student loans for a career (think doctor but not making 200k+). And we are a family of 5, which makes the money spread thin.

We never do delivery like DoorDash. I did when our kids were unable to stay home alone / too big to convince all of them to get in the car at the same time / a stressful period of life / using discounts but always tipping well. This would be like Saturday morning breakfast when I was overwhelmed.

Once in 2 months, or less often, we do delivery pizza. Overall those nights are relatively affordable and only if we are having an incredibly busy or stressful day.

Eating out, we do quite a bit:
-fast food. If we do this, I notice it usually isn’t for all 5 of us. It’s like 2 of us on the way home from a late game that went over dinner
-once a month, we might do a dinner out. If there is a recent great paycheck or a reason to celebrate.
-my husband does lunch out sometimes if his break gets cut short. Otherwise he is able to come home to eat lunch. Also sometimes we make it a lunch date if I am free. Cheap way to go on dates, rather than out on a weekend.[/quote]

You are NOT lower middle class or middle class on that income.  Your debt does not reduce your income.  You choose that debt and to have three kids.  Three kids are expensive.[/quote]
