[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have a much higher HHI now but used to have a 300k income with 2 kids. We maxed out our 401k but didn't save a whole lot. We bought furniture from Ikea, kept our house simple and paid off our student loans. We still went on a few vacations per year. Florida trips are very affordable and perfect for young families. Now our kids are older, student loans are paid off, kids are in public school. We save a lot more and go on much nicer vacations.[/quote] It is isolating though, because they don't have the SAHM socializing with the neighbors, nor the cash to join the country club or vacation together. Their kids will notice. But they get good schools and short commutes, which hopefully is worth it. - family in bottom 1/4 of elem school demographics in Arlington [/quote]
