[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hmmm...I don't think 90k at 29 is a low earner. But I guess the question is...will it increase? My DH made like 80 K at that age. Once our DD was born and I stopped working he switched jobs to a larger company and is doing very well initially a lateral move with lots of potential. He almost doubled his salary in a few years. He's now a few year years away from making partner which could bring in a 7 figure salary. But right now we are quite comfortable. So if you consider 90 k a low earner then I guess I married a low earner too. Definitely worked out fine for us! Not always about what they are making but potential as well! Then again if you are in love should it matter? [/quote]

In this area 90k can be tough.  An average house is about 500k (if you are lucky its actually in a decent school district-if not you are looking at propbab;y 700k). child care in dc is the highest in the nation. I caculated that we spent close to $75k in child care for ONE kid between the ages of 4months and 3.5 years. Thank god for DC free all day preschool.  the are median income is $108,000.  So 90k isn't all that great when you figure it cost a fortune to live around here.  OP you can do it, but you need to move way out to Loudoun COunty or another part of the country.[/quote]
