[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just my two cents- people often calculate their HHI after taxes/retirement/insurance is removed. We are at about that income when we’ve maxed out retirement, it can sometimes feel tight if there’s a big repair expense. People forget how much they are savings snd concentrate on the monthly bill amount.

Also, our housings costs are much lower than normal, but [b]SN kids  and medical costs are very expensive. [/b]Sometimes it’s not overspending on housing.[/quote]

Truer words were never spoken. We felt UMC before we realized that DC had SN and needed the therapies. Yes, we have an IEP, but it’s not going to get DC completely functioning by 12th grade. Supplementing the gap is ruinous, but I cannot put him out in the world without at least trying.[/quote]

Yup, I have no idea how people with lower incomes handle the medical costs and tuition- reality is they aren't able to and their kids don't get the needed services.  We can thankfully handle one private school tuition, if our other kid was SN also, no way we could do it.[/quote]
