[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]hhi 135k.  we maxed retirement in 1 tsp and 2 IRAS, also did 8k in 529 for one child.  we also pay for private for 1 child.  our budget is TIGHT, and next year we won't divert as much to college, but you can definitely do better on savings or swing private, OP.

Did you eat this year?! In all seriousness, how did you manage to save so much?[/quote

I stay at home so cook and make food from scratch.  we also have a meat CSA that helped us keep prices down.  we have one fed and then some rental properties, so the tax situation works in our favor.  also, I take care of my elderly father so there was only a bit of travel this year, which isn't ideal and will change next year.  the biggest help is that we bought a house we could afford on one income and only after we had saved a sizeable down payment, then refinanced to get that payment down again. we are in a weird place as DC has started private, but I'm still at home taking care of my father.  we hope this will change in about a year so I can go back to work and breathe a bit easier.
