[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]3 kids is a sign of success in this area.  It's a keeping up with the Joneses move for a lot of people.  [/quote]

3 kids is definitely a "luxury" in this area. 
I know many, many families who stopped at 1 or 2 because they couldn't afford a another child.

While a luxury it can be done if priorities are set up at the beginning. I have coworkers who have 4 and 5 kids. The guys make about $120k and the wives stay at home. They live in [b]not too big houses in not awesome school districts and homeschool and don't vacation outside of some family trips. Always bring lunch, drive old vans[/b]. The kids are adorable, well behaved and seem content but I doubt anyone goes to any camp or non church event ever. It's their choice and their families. Don't know about student loans for those coworkers but I highly doubt it as most went to state schools for a STEM field and had our company pay for grad school. [/quote]

This is not the kind of life OP has in mind.  She'll be in a bigger house as soon as they can swing it.
