[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We were willing to sacrifice just about everything but necessities to keep me at home.  The first few years were rough. We lived in Raleigh, North Carolina on less $50,000.  My DH's income is about $160,000 now so while we are not rich, we are comfortable.  We moved away from DC and $160,000 feels like a ton of money here. I went back to work part-time when our youngest started middle school and that helped as well.

We only had one car but my DH had a work vehicle. That really helped. Almost all of our vacations were trips to visit family in different parts of the country. We lived overseas for a few years so we were able to travel some then as well. I budgeted very carefully. We limited activities to one per child. We were just really careful with our money back then. It's much easier to save with one parent at home.

Our kids are grown now. Zero regrets. It was worth it for our family. [/quote]

This is how it's done if you have the desire to do it. Great job! [/quote]

Very few of us could command jobs over $100k in NC.  That is an unusual salary for the area. Sales at SAS?[/quote]
