We [b]might be in too much home[/b] for our income, however with  3 kids and MIL living with us not too many choices available for us in this area.
House that could accommodate family of 6 in [b]good school district outside of the beltway, but still relatively close to our jobs[/b] starts from 800K (read - need renovation). I can say that our savings are insufficient, we don't max out 401K not saving in 529s. Day-to-day expenses just high - mortgage, utilities, [b]kids activities[/b]/afterschool care, house repair/maintenance. I would say we [b]live comfortabl[/b]e, but still have to watch our expenses, e.g. we're [b]rarely eating out[/b], I do follow grocery adds and never buy groceries @ full price, buy kids clothes @ Kohls/Childrens place on clearance, we mostly have [b]budget vacations[/b] - eg campgrounds in driving distance. 
Tell me how it's not hand-to-mouth?[/quote]

Marked it for you. That's why it's not hand to mouth.[/quote]

Agree.  For me, it's the use of "hand to mouth" - which is really just barely surviving.  You are tight on money, but comfortable.  You are paying for more than the bare necessities.  This is not "hand to mouth."[/quote]
