[quote=Anonymous]My husband and I were making about 275 in 2015 and had a decent but small house in Alexandria, modest mortgage ($2500 ish) and we found it really hard once the second kid came around. Two under two in daycare was. A real  struggle. We were running up like 2-3 k a month in credit card and then paid that off the next month but never could get out of that. Maybe if you both have pensions or something but we could never save. And never mind you are watching everyone around you drive BMW SUVs and taking their kids for ten days in Italy or their beach house in Rehoboth - it just wasn’t what we wanted - to be making what is actually a huge amount of money in most of the world and still feel poor. Luckily we found a low cost of living area where my husband could keep his federal job and I got a remote job. It also helped once the kids were out of toddler daycare stage, although camps and braces etc are not cheap either. 
Anyway it was not enough for us in dc -  there is always something “more” you need - and we are able to do more for our kids here. It might be different for you . [/quote]
