[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The original question was idiotic. People have all different levels of money. I can afford to travel first class on every trip I take. How do people afford private school for their kids? How do people afford to live in McLean? How do people afford expensive cars? Ridiculous question.[/quote]

This. Stop trying to keep up with the Jones. Here in NoVa we live in a bubble. There are many who never afford to travel outside our country. But it's a beautiful country...my kids have seen the Grand Canyon and neighboring National Parks. They've been to New Orleans.

Yes...we have also traveled internationally but only with sacrifices...[b]no private schools, no fancy cars, no monthly mani/pedi.[/b] Plus...and this is very important...we have family in Europe and stay with them 90% of the time. So this is how we live within our means. We also prioritized saving for college and paying 90% of all college tuition and fees so our twins wouldn't have much college debt. My 23 yr old son, now gainfully employed just paid off his very low student debt.

OP. It's not about traveling internationally or going to fancy locations....it's about making memories with family and spending time with family. We did simple weeks in Williamsburg and weekends in Colonial Beach too. My kids grew up knowing the importance of family time and hard work/sacrifice.[/quote]

lolol.  I'm sorry but some of you are so out of touch- you're "sacrificing" luxury items to afford different luxury items?  While saving that much money for college?  Maybe a better way to descibe this is that you need to prioritize how you spend your high income.  [/quote]
