[quote=Anonymous]Oh and I’ll add- this is still a generous budget because sometimes you just don’t do all of the above, all at once. Some years it’s staycations or day trips. Maybe you do a little less in the kids 529s sometimes. Maybe you drive a paid off beater for awhile. Lots of ways to flex on this. Housing and childcare are tough. Big line item that can be hard to compromise on. Contrary to DCUMs most prolific posters, it is possible to find a house for 700k within a 45 minute drive. Just not a 6k square foot new build in Arlington. [/quote]
