[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We started out living on one income and banking the rest plus 401k for the salary we were not saving. Our spending did not have to be cut. We did this from the start with no intention of having one of us stay at home. When I started staying home our income was just over $100k and we had a large emergency fund. It is now twice that most years (baseline is around $170k without bonus). If you are thinking about one of you staying at home, live off the other salary for at least 6 months to see if you can do it. Then you will know and you will have a nice nest egg for emergencies.[/quote] and we live in McLean but our mortgage is small and we live in a DCUM "shitshack", although we have made improvements over the years.[/quote]
