[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^^ We're two income, one child.  We make very good money.  We do NOT spend money on fancy kitchens, bathrooms, computers (we have old laptops and iPhone 5s because we had been using old phones), haven't been on a vacation ever (to include a honeymoon).

Know where our money goes? Housing and childcare.  They eat up about 70% of our take home pay.

Hang in there, this used to be us. But kids grow up and mortgages get paid off, and then you start banking some real cash.[/quote]

yeah, we don't make $200k....we're low 6 figures together.  I don't see a way out of it in this area - you cannot live anywhere convenient to work and I won't compromise location (proximity of work/home means more time with my child).  It's impossible here unless both people are in the high 100s or more if you want to live close in/near metro[/quote]

But if you make low 6 figures together, you're not both pulling 12 hour days, right?[/quote]

Not pp but my DH consistently works 12 hour days. He works for the fed gov and doesn't make 6 figures. [/quote]
