[quote=Anonymous]We're at $225k and are hoping to pay off student loans ($500/month) and a car ($400/month) within the next 2.5 years (the student loan amount is based on a 10 year repayment, with us being on year 3 currently). Rent is $2,300 (older townhouse on the metro) and daycare is $1,600 (20min walk). After all is said and done we have around $400 left over every month, but we budget like crazy and have a few separate accounts for various things (vacations, holiday/birthdays, etc), also maxing out retirement, FSA, etc. We definitely feel like middle class right now, once some things get paid off, which should be about 6 months before DD enters public school will be a nice time for us, and maybe at that point we'll feel like we're making more, but then we'll be saving to buy a house, so probably not :)

I'd say we're middle class right now, probably upper middle in a few years. Oh and our vacations are fairly local and we share a house w/ my side of the family. Any trips we take the 3 of us are over weekends and normally under $1k.[/quote]
