So to translate:

You are saving $17K each into 401K, plus employer matches, so thats about $45K a year.
You are putting away $1500 a month into savings, so thats another $18K a year.
Plus the $15K a year into 529. 
Plus presumably, $5K to $10K a year in mortgage debt reduction
With at least $350K in investments (If this is your emergency fund, then whats your investment fund? $1M? $2M?) growing at 6% a year or so...

That means that in a normal year, you save $70 to $80,000 a year in savings.
You probably reduce your debt load by $10K a year. 
You likely gain at least $20K or $30K a year in investment income.

So, your net worth is growing by at least $120K a year.

Dont sweat the next two years honey.

I have $1.2 to $1.3M ... saving every penny and being careful. It became very stressful for me to worry about the little expenses. I just decided "screw it, im young, i make good money, ill make more later, im going to stop hitting $100K a year in net worth, and I'm going to aim for $75K." Since I did that, my stress has melted away.

Simple solution here sweetie. Really simple. [/quote]
