[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are living very well on about 98,000/yr. When I worked, we made exactly double that. I sah with our toddler since he was born. 
Our mortgage is only 1700 bc we put down 250
Both cars were paid off before I quit but both are relatively new so no maintenance.
I buy everything on ebay.
When I'm done with it, I sell it on ebay or craigslist.
I cook every night.
I clean my own house.
I swap babysitting with another mom for occasional date nights.
I use the interest from my investments to fund a vacation once or twice a year.
Dh family has a vacation house we can use.
My mom gives me gc for clothes for bday and Christmas.
Shop at TJ and costco instead of whole foods.
That said I
Belong to a gym
Take my kid to gymboree
Occasionally lunch with other SAHMs
Take my kid to the zoo, kids shows, kid events.
Belong to a nice pool in the summer
Get my hair cut every 6 weeks @ 75 plus tip.

Get a pedi every other week

What is different:
We save much less although we do have investments which gain interest. 
I buy MUCH less high-end clothing and purses.
Our vacations are much less elaborate.
We used to eat out 3-4 Times a week and loved fine dining.
