[quote=Anonymous]I was a SAHM with an HHI of 75K. I think it is entirely doable with some budgeting at $100K. However, we are not talking about having an UMC lifestyle with that. An MC lifestyle is very possible. You do have to make some economic choices though. I pride myself in being a good wife and I could really stretch our dollars. By $150K, we were living a very good lifestyle and so I think most people can live comfortably on $150K and also save for retirement and college. We have never had student debt, childcare costs, private school costs, high mortgage, divorce, alimony, child support, fertility treatment, SN kids, pets, eldercare, therapy, marriage counseling, court cases, bankruptcy, major health problems, drinking/drugs/gambling/smoking/prostitution kind of expensive bad habits. First and only marriage for both of us. No kids from previous relationships. Our fixed expenses were always very low. [/quote]
