Agree with OP 100%! We live in close-in Moco on 100k and bank 100% of our second income of 60k. We could easily go to one income and have a stay at home parent, but DW enjoys her work and the savings gets addictive. In a few more years we'll both 'retire' and live off savings in a lower COL area.

+1! You may not feel poor, but your DW and kids might. Mom and I certainly hated it. As soon as I was old enough, I moved to DC and never looked back.
To each his own.

The people on the "we make half a mil per year and feel poor" threads simply cannot wrap their minds around the idea that an expensive house, car, and private schools are not actual necessities. You feel poor because you spend too much money, genius.
+1! And the person who questioned me about how much I saved for retirement while stating that she saves more than I earn in one year is just laughable.
Why?
Ha! If you have to ask why, you will never know.
You seriously don't get why it is so hilarious? You rich people are just on another planet. You need to go get a clue and understand how real people live.

No, I really don't see why a family that now lives on $500,000 would not feel poor if they were saving only $20K for retirement.
