[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here We like to say we are not poor, just broke :)[/quote] Yep. I also like to remind myself (and others, LOL) that being able to pay one's bills, live comfortably, AND fully plan for retirement AND college is a LUXURY that the vast majority of Americans cannot afford. We have relatively little wiggle room in our budget, and we rely on credit cards for much of our emergency "fund." (Luckily, we haven't often had to resort to that, and most of the time we pay off credit cards in full each month). We live in a 1500 square foot house and drive old, non-luxury cars. But we both have stable government jobs, so very slim chance of either of us losing them (short of criminal activity, lol). We live in a great school district. We will have enough to send our children to in-state colleges and to be comfortable in retirement. House will be paid off by the time we retire (late 60s). I consider us extremely lucky.[/quote]
