[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Im a single mom of 2 making $85k. My kids are 4 and 7 and they have been to 6 countries. Ive been to 25+. It's doable.[/quote]

You must not be saving a lot of money? I am paranoid about being laid off and not being able to get another job for a few years and burning through all my savings or becoming so old/handicapped that I can't work anymore and have to live off savings. So I try to save 50% of my income. [/quote]
I save just fine. No debt, great credit. I have around $225k equity in my house if needed too.[/quote]

Something isn’t adding up. How do you own a home on $85k? Do you live in a shack in the hollers? [/quote]
I have a 4bd/2ba house I bought when I was 25 for $310k @ 2.75%. My PITI is $1900/month. I worked full time during college and paid down my tuition to minimize loans + save for a down payment Kids are in good public schools. We dont eat out. I dont do "girly" things like get my hair done, injections, etc. Our clothes are thoughtfully thrifted so no one can really tell. We dont eat out- I love gardening and cooking anyway. I put gas and groceries on united cc and pay it off every month to get miles. We fly basic economy united (2 kids can sit with adult without having to pay for seats). We home exchange and have stayed in places from adorable cozy flats to really nice SFHs. We have a blast in the process. Very, very happy with my life and my kids have had some incredible experiences.[/quote]
