[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We saved 10k per month on 300k HHI[/quote]

This is us. Not counting 401ks.[/quote]

Horseshit. Unless you are childless and your favorite hobby is sitting at home with your thumb up your ass. [/quote]

We make around 300k and bring home about ~$14,000 per month (of course this is after funding retirement, paying taxes, and benefits). I have no idea how we could have a mortgage and pay for childcare plus save 10k. Not to mention food! I wish we were saving more, but we save about $1-2k/month and then keep having to dip into it when the inevitable comes up. We’re spending nearly 3k/month on childcare for 2 kids though, so I keep telling myself we’ll have more cushion once that is done and can also re-route a portion of that to 529s. [/quote]

I forgot to calculate that we both get paid every 2 weeks, so we each get an “extra” 2 paychecks I didn’t calculate into our monthly 14k. We generally use those bonus paychecks for big things like house repairs, travel, etc. And I also find 2 FSA accounts, so my take home pay probably sounds low for our salary. [/quote]
