[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can’t believe I’m poor with my 100k salary…but that’s how it feels.
My fiancé and I make 170k combined. Surely. That’s enough! But we live in a two bedroom apartment and don’t know when we will be able to buy a house. And thinking about the expenses of kids is absolutely overwhelming. I’ve wanted to set a timeline since we got engaged a few months ago, but we just have not been able to figure out how to get the money for a family and our future . Did you all get a ton of money from your parents ? I truly do not know how you all do it. I want kids, a house, and a wedding  but any one of those things works drain my savings  immensely. I’m 30 and my partner is also mid thirties, so it’s disheartening that we are this stressed, with good jobs and advanced degrees. [/quote]

We are deeply lucky to be just 10 years older than you guys. We have a similar HHI, but were able to buy a 4 bedroom house in DC for $400,000. Public school for our kids. Just pure dumb luck. [/quote]
