[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Needing two incomes for the same lifestyle that one income could provide decades ago is a scam. [/quote]

Get rid of one of your cars 
No iPhones 
No out of state college 
Driving vacations - nothing international 
Mostly eat at home 
No cable 
Much smaller home 
No cleaners or yard people
I could go on…

I have 0 cars 
I’m not going to be able to save for state college never mind out of state but my parents didn’t either
I have never taken my kids on a vacation that’s not visiting family (by driving)
We eat mostly at home
We don’t have cable
Two kids in a one-bedroom apartment
No cleaners (also no yard people although also no yard)

Somehow I don’t think my problem is the three 2-8 year old iPhones I pay for.[/quote]

So, what is the problem? I invested some of the money I made over the years. Now I rarely work. 
I knew early on that I wanted freedom from a boss because the jobs I had from age 20-35 were horrific. Not even the work, but the drunk boss, long and late hours.
I'm single, no alimony, 1 kid.
I do have finance degree and interest in anything personal finance. Maybe that helps.

Maybe my problem is that I’m 34 and still in the working era of your life plan?  But generally, the complaint was needing two incomes to cover what one income used to.  My parents had one income, less than my current one, lived much as I do and were able to afford a better standard of living (1 car, international travel, owned a 3-bedroom house they liked, eventually able to pay for three kids’ college with help from scholarships).  Honestly, I’m fine with my life and don’t regret my choices but I get annoyed when people try to claim that a consistent standard of living has been supported by a consistent income over the years.  Money simply does not go as far these days and it’s not the fault of individual choices.[/quote]
