[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. I’m not the same poster that talked about having a housekeeper. That is absolutely not us. We clean our own toilets. We rarely eat out and when we do it’s a fast casual spot. We take trips to visit family or day trips that don’t require overnights. Even with that I don’t see how the numbers work out unless we move into an apartment and don’t save for retirement, which perhaps is a choice we could make, but doesn’t seem prudent. I appreciate the replies![/quote] So it seems like you know your answer. And you probably have known it all along—you can’t make the numbers work. [/quote] Agree. Not sure how you make it work for two kids with that mortgage payment. One strategy might be to consider a career pivot for either/both you and DH to yield higher salaries. I left non profit sector for private a few years after having my first kid. Kicking myself I didn’t do it sooner. The salary/bonuses etc are worth it. [/quote]
