[quote=Anonymous]I guess I could work budget magic and do it, but it would be a miserable existence. No cars, no cell phones (maybe pay as you go phones, for emergencies), no cable/internet, no dinners out, no fun activities. And I'm not living a lavish lifestyle at it is; I SAH and my DH makes $106,000. We are comfortable, but by no means do we have a nanny and lawncare or go on expensive vacations or $300 dinners. We do fine, but to imagine living on less than half of what we have now would be really, really tough. And yeah, it's the rent up here that would kill you. It makes me sick to think of paying for a shitty apartment close in for $2300 a month when I know my parents' 5 bedroom house on 3 acres of land on a lake had a mortgage of less than than in Georgia.
