[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are a family of 4, so this may not apply, but our HHI is 575 and we feel more than comfortable. Sadly it's easy to get to the point where you always want more (more retirement! more for college! more vacations! maybe private school really is the way to go!), but this is plenty. Our main expenses are the mortgage on our 1M house, kids activities, retirement, and college savings (if those count as expenses). We have no plans for a nice car (our two are worth a combined 15K), private school, more than one vacation a year, or expensive home updates. (FWIW, we don't care where our clothes come from or what kind of cars we drive. So what if my pants come from target and I drive a Honda Fit? Somebody might disapprove? So? Why would I that bother me?) (But it's possible it's easier to not be bothered because our income is high)[/quote] You must save $250k a year. [/quote]
