[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To say $250K a year anywhere is rich is ridiculous.  It's upper middle class salary, not wealth, not rich.  DH and I make this now living in DC.  With private school tuition plus nanny plus mortgage and insurances plus healthcare there isn't much left.[/quote]
Ditch the nanny and the private school.  Neither are an actual necessity.  There are good public schools and good daycares, so please, don't bitch and moan about the 60k thousands you are spending on them.  
We make about $120k and are in no way struggling. In the past three years we have invested one years worth of salary and have 40k in the bank.  We own our own home which we didn't even have a down payment for and don't have trust funds or any help from anyone.  We also don't have a nanny and have a good public school.  I have thought about private school but I would send my kids to to local Catholic school where the tuition is just over $5,000 and there is a discount for the second child.[/quote]
