Some of these mortgages seem small based on DC housing costs. Some of you must have had huge down payments! Impressed. (And yes I know some people aren’t in DC).

Yours is the closest to mine — bring home ~9250$ (which is already heavily impacted by daycare and health insurance and retirement and some other deductions) and PITI is 2900.

Our mortgage is approximately 20% of our monthly take-home pay, including PITI & HOA fee divided by 12. We have four kids so it still feels tight. DH's bonus is not counted in this, because it varies year-to-year.
Overall, I would never want a mortgage above what we have now. What we have found over the years is that no matter how much one budgets, things still come up and medical emergencies happen. We do have an emergency fund which we save for true emergencies, but it keeps draining down and it's hard to build back up. So that's why we try to keep our mortgage low, and on a 15 year fixed that we are working to pay off somewhat ahead of schedule.

After that I pay for every single thing. 3 K mortgage, 2 cars, tutors, lessons, insurance, bi-weekly maids, utilities, home improvements, groceries, gifts, eating out, entertaining (we entertain quite a lot - usually 20 - 30 people at least once a month - dinner, booze etc). We have 2 kids, they go to public school. We have great medical insurance. We do not have any pets. I only go to parlors for hair cut. I color my own hair and I do my own nails and beauty treatments. I also save to pay for annual vacations - 10 K - 15 K.
Lol, okay.

No retirement savings going on. And we don't get insurance from work, so health insurance comes out of the take home.
I married my honey and wonder if I should have married money.
How do you guys manage??
