[quote=Anonymous]It's very hard to FIRE with kids. I only make $125K and my spouse about $100K. We live in Northern Virginia, and try save some money. We don't eat out, drive old cars, and our kids don't do much extra activities. Just buying clothes, groceries, property taxes, bills take a huge chunk of our paychecks. We maximize 401K, and put extra $1000-2000 monthly in brokerage accounts. Travelling is also so expensive, we usually pick cheap interior cabines on cruiselines, drive to other states and try not to fly to often. It is what it is. I wish to find other parents with whom I could be friends that are trying to FIRE in my area. It seems to me that everyone spends so much money on everything and there are so many SAH moms who don't even work but drive nice cars.[/quote]
