[quote=Anonymous]Good for you OP. I lived the same way (before marriage and kids). Bought a small home in a near'ish neighborhood to DC, lived comfortably and travelled some on a salary of $75-90k (gross). Now I'm in a two income family with two kids and we have a much higher combined income, though still nothing stratospheric. We own three homes (the ones we each owned prior to marriage and the one we bought together) and we live very comfortably. My husband and I are both people who lived well within our means before we met, save money regularly, are careful w/ our money, etc... and we continue to do so now. We are blessed that we have solid, stable income obviously, but don't shoot for things that are out of our reach and we have minimal financial stress as a result.[/quote]
