[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Yes, we make $120k combined.[/b] No real bonus structure in either of our jobs. We have 3 kids. Live in a 2 bedroom townhouse so it’s cozy. We live in south Arlington in an area that commonly is discussed on here as trashy and low- rent but it’s what we can afford. [b]Our jobs tie us to this region so no leaving.[/b] We don’t vacation more than day trips to the beach or hikes. The kids don’t really know different at this point.

I guess I should be upset we aren’t in a position to show them the world, but we have money to put food on the table and save a tiny bit each month. Though at this point buying a bigger house is likely out of the question. [/quote]

No offense, but if you're making $120K combined, then you're not tied to this region by your jobs.  The median income nationally for a FT worker is like $55K, so you could make at least $110K anywhere in the country, particularly in an area with a much lower COL, which would probably improve your lifestyle.[/quote]
