[quote=Anonymous]DH and I are both 30. We have a HHI of 175k and bought in Arlington last year with 10% down and paid PMI at closing (lump sum rather than monthly payments) for a $600k house. Out PITI is $3k. For what it's worth, we have 1 DC (born this past spring) in an in-home daycare and each contribute 10% to retirement and max out our Roth IRAs. Any bonuses that DH receives throughout the year fund DC's 529 and we also contribute $100/month to the 529. It's tough, but we are doing just fine. Just not saving as much as we'd like to, but we have an emergency fund (6 months expenses).[/quote]
