[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]30/31, 210K - 240K depending on bonuses. We don't live in Dc, but a different major metro area with a more reasonable COL (decent normal homes run 275K - 500K depending on where you want to live).

Very similar situation to the above poster.  My husband and I have a combined base salary of about 265K, and can usually count on an additional 20Kish in bonuses per year (we are both lawyers but have left big city life and BigLaw for our hometown and smaller firms).  I have a bunch of student loan debt, but I'm on the accelerated 10 year payoff plan so I only have a few more years left.  We're having our first baby this summer and should be able to swing the additional daycare costs (about $1200-1500 per month in our neck of the woods) without too much fuss.   Though it's possible to live in a "nice" suburb with new-build housing stock priced under $300K here, we choose to live in a very nice city neighborhood where the smaller homes like ours run $450K and up.

Incomes and house prices are very low compared to DC, so we do feel quite well off compared to our peers.  I know plenty of people here who make in the 50K-75K range who are doing just fine, for example. [/quote]
