[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We earn less, own three properties (with paid off mortgages), and have two teens (one at an $80k+/year college). And we're doing just fine financially. If you're struggling on that income, OP, you're doing something wrong.[/quote] This is absolute BS unless you have an inheritance or help.[/quote] We have neither of those things. My husband is just scary good with money/budgeting and [b]we live well below our means (no big vacations/travel, used cars, lots of DIY projects[/b], etc.), which I get is not for everyone. But it is doable. [/quote] That doesn't track with an $80,000/year college, though. Are you paying that much out of pocket? People who spend 18 years raising kids, living below their means, doing frugal DIY projects and driving beater cars IME don't suddenly start shelling out $80K a year of college when perfectly acceptable State College + Scholarship is $23K (or Community College is $4k)[/quote]
