[quote=Anonymous]I would not send a child to private school. If you are planning to send the second eventually I think there are too many uncertainties in life at your income to spend that much on private school.

If you mean by "drive a new Subaru" always have a car payment, I would not do that either. You could drive a new Subaru until it won't run anymore and then buy a new one.

I think my current grocery bill for a family of 4 on conventional groceries is staggering. I would not want to imagine what it would be if I bought all organic food. I think there is little evidence that organic food is better for you.

Finally, not sure what is meant by eating out. Spending $50 per week on take out? Sure. Eating out twice a week for $100 a pop? I would not do that.

You sound like you have a lot of high tastes, OP. You make a lot of money, but you would be wise to be more frugal. Your spouse works for the federal government. Maybe they are in a safe position. But just look around. I work in industry and see many people's careers end involuntarily in their 50s. I would save more and not be taking international vacations every year and sending two kids to privates. But that's me.[/quote]
