[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have a similar HHI, live in McLean, mortgage about 3500. My parents are not footing my nanny bill but they basically [b]provide free childcare for us by living with us and caring for our baby, also chauffeuring the older one to all kinds of activities. [/b]We do have healthy retirement and regular saving. But money is still tight. The thing is, 400k is just middle class income in this area. We do need grandparents support to survive.[/quote] This is what OP needs to do.. At $2.5M, you likely have a large enough house that can easily accommodate 2 more people (parents). Cut out daycare, halve your Costco and furniture expenses and you are golden. <tongue in cheek comment> If your parents are not interested, change your ethnicity to Chinese or Indian and adopt an old chinese or indian couple. They would be thrilled to take care of their grandkids and the grandkids will know to take care of you in your old age. [/quote]
