We're frugal and bought much less than what we could afford.
you must be making a zillion each year or the math isn't right.
If your HHI is $1,000,000, you're paying $683 each month. Would you like to revise your response?

That seems like a lot, but we max 2 401Ks and have a dependant care account so that takes a lot out of pre-tax income.
the question was of GROSS HHI. That means before 401ks and dependent care and health insurance, taxes and anything else.
What sense does this make though? It doesn't really tell you anything about your budget.

19% gross
30% net
However, childcare is another 16% of net, which is why we are pretty cash strapped still.
Yep--when we bought, our mortgage (without escrow) was about $2400/month, and childcare was $2000/month. Unreal.
