[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I honestly do not know.

I mean here inside the beltway I don't know.

Sure if I'm in St Louis or something but I honestly don't know how you even enjoy your life on that esp if 2 kids.

Min 300k with 2 teens.  Min. And that's rarely going out and limited vacation joys. Sorry but camping and eating beans and rice for every holiday is not my idea of fun times.  Maybe once in awhile but folks who keep saying you can have fun just camping have never done more.  I love nature but even getting there and doing stuff that's interesting can sometimes cost more than $10 you know?  And forget about eating out more than like 2x/month if you have older kids.

I honestly don't know how people do it. We are $350k and it's not like we're big spenders. We don't have a lawn service. We don't drive new cars. But we do have 2 kids and 1 has learning disabilities so we pay a lot for tutoring and therapy.  [/quote]

I don't get where your money goes.  We make half and have a SN child as well and pay for tons of tutoring (as in 10-15 hours a week or more) plus therapies, plus at one point caring for a family member.  We spend what we want now as house is paid off (we paid it off in 16 years) and have college funds for a state college and grad school.  [/quote]
