[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This money is unreal. I cannot imagine. [/quote]

Yeah no kidding.  I make 80K at a nonprofit, work remotely full time (not in DC, but my job is, so the 80K stretches farther) and  thought I was doing all right!  Hours... 9-6ish, plus some weekends and some evening work, and monthly travel.  Young baby. Husband makes similar.

I guess it's all relative.  To my in-laws, we're the "rich" arm of the family, which they actually told us to our faces once. [/quote]

It's definitely all relative. Plus your lifestyle expands to meet your income to some extent. I'm a lawyer (posted previously) and see it at the partner level, where suddenly someone finds themselves pinched making $1-2 million/year. For us, we save plenty and aren't very extravagant, but we also don't pay close attention to a budget and our monthly expenses, leaving aside mortgage and childcare, is $4-5k/month. There's no need for that but we're careless. I'm embarrassed even to admit it anonymously.[/quote]
