[quote=Anonymous]We have an HHI of $250k and I think we are rolling in money. These posts baffle me. Here are our expenses: $2200/mo mortgage on $850k home bought in 2004 (put down large down payment). $25k/ year for FT preschool (pay up front for the year for a slight discount, plus don't feel it every month). Max out 401k every year, plus 529 account. CC bills of about $4k/ mo (which has most of our expenses). Here's what we do that's frugal: We pack our own lunches. I may buy lunch 1x/wk but that's it. No take out during the week. Eat out 1x/wk as a family. No Starbucks Drive 2003 car. Metro to work. No babysitter. But we still have: Cable Smart phone for DH (mine is thru work) Shop at WF once a week. (Avg bill around $120/ wk). $$ for vacations, house renovations. Have $400k in bank in savings (yes need to invest) and $500k in investments. [/quote]
