[quote=Anonymous]It's doable, OP. We are sending one paying $30,000 a year on HHI of $160K. Low mortgage luckily ($1500), one car payment, no other debt. But lots of medical expenses, dental too, more than most families. Yes you can do it. You just figure that $5000 will come out of your account (savings or otherwise) every month for 10 months. Use the other 2 months without the payment for extras or to save to make the other 10 months doable. Use your FSA payout, your tax return to buy the things like plane tickets to visit family or take a one-week inexpensive vacation. Max out your TSP, put a little in 529s for each kid. Eat vegetables, buy used, create a budget. It's also not a crime to send one to private and one to public-- each kid is different and lots of families do do that. [/quote]
