[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We net around $50K each month.

Our budget is not so different from your OP, although the buckets are distributed a bit differently, perhaps because we have 4 kids. So less money on cars, earring out, shopping, etc, and more money on a house, activities, and private school.

Less than 10 years ago I was single and making $40K per year. I do understand how normal people live, and how much money eases my life/lives of those in my family. I still remember this amazing feeling of awe when my tax bill (I was self-employed) was more than $40K/previous annual paycheck - I felt like I had made it, that I was paying so much in taxes and still had enough money to live.

I saw my mother work herself to the bone to clean the house, watch us kids, cook at the meals, etc., etc. I very much appreciate my mother for doing that for all of us and providing me with an amazing childhood despite not having a lot of money. And I don’t feel guilty for trying to do the same for my kids while balancing my own career and supporting my DH and his career - we do have money, and use it to make our lives work better. [/quote]
