[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]$250K for NW DC
-3 kids
-single income so minimal child care ($15K for preschool and camps combined)
-public school
-$500K mortgage on a 1 million dollar home (we save a LONG time for a down payment)
-2 vacations per year, about $3-4K each
-retirement savings
-college savings
-decent day-to-day lifestyle.  Nothing high end but never pinching pennies and able to eat out several times per month, buy clothing as needed/wanted, pay for household repairs, take a long weekend once or twice a year, pay for our children's extracurricular activities, etc.

bwahahahahaha since when is $15k "minimal child care"?  We live on a single income and "minimal child care" for us means that we pay for my three year olds school lunches.  I haven't paid a penny in child care since my oldest was born 3.5 years ago.  $15k a year is not minimal by any stretch.

Also, we do everything listed above (2 kids) on $90k per year.  Sure, our mortgage is lower but all these people here saying they just need a little more than $250k are CRAZY![/quote]
