[quote=Anonymous]I don't think your job needs to be "exotic" to be demanding. In our family with a lobbyist and a lawyer, neither of which I'd classify as exotic in this area, we definitely couldn't manage without two cars and a nanny due to the inconsistent hours we work. I also don't think a family of 4 living in an 1800 square foot house is "comfortable." But that's just me- a typical American. I certainly don't need or want a McMansion, but we need about 2400 square feet to not feel cramped. And because we sometimes work long hours, it's important to us to live close in rather than add a commute to our long day. No way could you swing this on less than a $4000 mortgage unless you bought 10+ years ago. The bottom line is that "comfortable" is subjective. OP never defined what comfortable means to her. The HHI one needs to send 2 kids to private and still live comfortably is about $100,000 ($60,000 after taxes) + the amount you consider "comfortable."[/quote]
