[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The other thread sparked my curiosity. What income does a husband need to bring in if he wants the following life style for his wife as a sahm:

- mortgage on a 1.3 mil house in a close-in suburb
- wife wears expensive clothes 
- high maintenance: expensive highlights, facials mani pedis, botox
- 2 nice cars
- kids in private school
- nanny

This is us but I don’t need Botox or highlights and I don’t do facials or mania/pedis. And I work. Our HHI is $600K. We pay our nanny $70K and pay $30K for private preschool. HHI is $600K. For a one earner family would need at least $600K.[/quote]

This thread is about SAHMs. This is not you at all if you work.

Private preschool also different than paying 40k per kid for private school.[/quote]

I’ll do the math for you. We pay $100K for childcare for two kids, so that’s more than $80k for two kids to go to private school or the equivalent of two $40K tuitions and $20K for a PT nanny. I said that for a single earner the person would need to earn at least $600K because that is our HHI and we have this lifestyle minus the Botox and pampering, because I’m young and don’t need that to look hot. FWIW, you don’t know of my DH makes $560 and I make $40K.

Also, why do you think you can dictate who replies to this thread? [/quote]
