[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have similar income. Yes, our mortgage is 7200. We have 4 kids. Life is expensive. We live ok. Decent house , but one that needs 39 new windows and new heat that is in a good neighborhood and not that far from DC. We go to Disney every year. We have the kids enrolled in 1 activity each. But I find it interesting that people are so angry at people who essentially have a house and can take vacation. I shop Costco, outlet malls, tjmaxx and target. I don’t have a cleaning lady.  I don’t have expensive cars. No European vacation. No fancy house stuff. I have 50% ikea. While, yes this is a good life, it’s not a RICH life. So much hate here though. [/quote]

50% Ikea in a huge house is not a bargain.  $7200 means a $2-3 Million dollar house.  Disney for 6 people yearly except if you are military is extremely expensive.  You are house and vacation poor.  Saying one activity is meaningless as that could be $100 a month or $1K a month.  Outlets, Costco, and Target aren't excactly cheaper.   You could have bought a house for $4K a month and saved that $3200 plus the Disney vacation for the kids college.[/quote]
