[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]$500k [b]PITI: $4900 Nanny: $4000[/b] Sports & Activities (kids are mid-elementary school): $800 529s: $1500 [b]Investment: $1500[/b] Max out 401ks (x2)[/quote] This is my fear of getting a nanny or moving to a more expensive house. Our salary is only 375k (bonus a lot more) and we save at least 5k per month after retirement. I can’t imagine earning 500k and only being able to save 1500 a month! The 401ks won’t be nearly enough to support you in retirement. [/quote] To out things in perspective - pp earns 41k a month pretax and can only find 1,500 to invest. Wow. [/quote] Yup. We make that and save 7k/mo (this is above and beyond 401k max and IRA max) and I feel like we spend like crazy. We could be investing much more. Our mortgage is half that. And we did AUPairs.[/quote]
