[quote=Anonymous]No wonder I feel so poor even though we are pulling in over 6 figures combined.

I work PT and make @$30K (probably would be $50K+ if working FT).  My husband makes $90K.  We're both 33.  We have a $1500 mortgage on a tiny TH in Reston and one child in daycare 3 days/week @$800/month.  We put 15% into retirement (mostly into Roths because we actually still qualify for them, unlike most people in this area it seems).  We put some money monthly into savings and a 529 for our daughter (never as much as I want us to, but we're lucky to be able to put anything aside considering what most normal people are dealing with right now).  Having another baby would mean we'd have to stop retirement contributions for a while.  We have 2 paid off cars and really don't want to figure out how to fit car payments back into our budget when we have to get our next car.  No student loans because my parents covered mine and he had his paid mostly by the military+GI Bill.

I always thought we'd be doing really well to be making over 6 figures - sucks to realize it doesn't go very far in this area.[/quote]
