[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I juuust this year exceeded $120k for the first time! Single parent, bought a SFH in a quiet but convenient corner of Columbia Heights back when I was married. 
We’re doing great! I refuse to take out loans or carry a credit card balance, so I drive a *gasp* Nissan Altima I saved and paid cash for, and my kids love thrift shopping. We’re often the only white people at kid activities (yes, there’s cheap ballet/ piano/ martial arts if you aren’t a snob.) We cook 29 days out of 30 and the kids are really getting good at it. 
I save for retirement. We take great vacations most years, which often involve staying with friends and in youth hostels, and park picnics most days. We’re saving now to do a photo safari in Tanzania next year. 
Honestly OP, this board will convince you that anything under $400k is destitution but I promise we are happier than a large majority of people who post here. It’s all about priorities and being true to yourself. [/quote]

Congrats! Very inspiring ![/quote]
