[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The DCUM secret is a really high HHI. Really easy to live on one income of 150K+ and bankroll the second. This doesn't really apply to couples each making 50K.[/quote]r
We weren't born rich. We didn't graduate from college debt-free and walk into a $100k job. But, whatever. Sounds like you've convinced yourself you've got it all figured out. Basically, it's easy for everyone else but hard for you. Ok. [/quote]

Actually, I've been there and done that. I increased my paltry income and was able to live below my means as a result. It's really easy to do so while making 6 figures.[/quote]

I agree with you, generally.  Sometimes life throws you huge curve balls, though.  A parent who did not prepare well enough, or develops dementia and moves in with your or you need to subsidize things for them.  A child with special needs.  A family member or spouse who develops a serious mental illness.  Other things need to adjust for as you go.  Stuff happens that seriously eat the bankroll.  [/quote]
