[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In DC I’d say 400k gross. So after taxes it’s what, 300k? At that income, couldn’t you send two kids to private, 1-3 big trips a year, have a nanny when kids are under 5, buy almost whatever you want. We are at 210k and it’s a stretch. Just our daycare bills are $50k, of course payable with post tax dollars, so basically most of my income is going there. We have worked about 15 years each. It’s kinda depressing. [/quote] Glad to read this. We are almost to $200k with young kids, both working FT and it's hard. We have a comfortable place to live but we can't buy a decent house, and it's hard to afford things like a babysitter for date night. I feel like 200k should be enough, so it's kind of a mindfuck that we feel like we are not able to meet our financial goals.[/quote]
