[quote=Anonymous]My recommendation - sit down and discuss financial priorities.

Do you have a 6 month emergency cash set aside?   This is where you go to when your paycheck gets messed up OR the government is shutdown.

Sit down and decide how much needs to be in that account and work for get the money there.

Next - create a budget.   International travel is awesome - if it is in your budget.   Trips with the guys can be fun - as well as a get away for you to be with friends.

You mentioned how much loans you took out - I know you are paying daycare right now - but what is the plan to pay for your children's college?

Do you both have life insurance?   What would happen if tomorrow he is diagnosed with terminal cancer (I had a young co-worker pass earlier this week - he was diagnosed in April and they thought he was going to beat it). He leaves a 4 and 6 year old behind with his wife who was  a SAHM b/c he traveled.

You are too educated with an MBA and working in finance to be sticking your head in the sand when it comes to your personal finances.
