$60k is the median household income in Orange county. How do two parents bringing in that income support their kids? How can they do it on a 9-5 schedule? A kid gets sick and you need to ask your boss if you can go pick them up? Or you need to do something at the DMV and have to basically take the whole day off for it? J f c

I'm not too far off from this with no government programs other than pslf and repaye. Wife stays home. She finds a lot of fee things to do with daughter off of various mommy groups. It's hard-ish, but if you're not materialistic and have good employee benefits, it's not a nightmare. Sometimes we have to make money stretch but those are the choices we made.

Savings and a couple of 401ks. I also own a share of a rental property that gives off income that goes directly to Savings.

I am, however, actually taking the bar since I have a buddy who is swamped and wants to start a shingle with me. He has ample business and wants to scale up and I'm the only person he trusts. So I don't think I will stick at this income much past this year.

72k. Biggest expense is housing. I sent house off of uncle at 1200. Other than that. Usual incidentals. Food. Clothing for kid. Internet. Tolls 255. Life insurance. My benefits are good so basically free health care. I would need about 100k cash to replace the job I think. Which is more than doable.

you have to change your priorities and just make it a mindset that what you are missing out on is not worth what you are gaining.

the people it really works for are conservatives because they aren't looking to feel sorry for themselves or feel less privileged than the joneses who have more. yes, there are libs who can pull this off, but they are a different breed from today's libs, basically the extinct happy libs

1. lotta schools give plenty of money for decent grades if poor. they can definitely get into decent undergrads.

2. kids who come from these situations often work hard to be able to do better for themselves. have several friends who more or less grew up in this situation, had good parents, good childhood, worked hard, and are in good/decent schools.

but that's a reality of only making $60k/yr

in orange county? paycheck to paycheck, public schools, don't save much for kids college and if so they'll probably go to a CC for two years and transfer to reduce debt. can scrape by saving for retirement to at least give enough to supplement SSI.

in are country? less paycheck to paycheck, can save a bit for kids college, stuff away a bit more for retirement, take a few regional vacations. it's harder than it used to be (60k now isn't what it was 15 years ago) but still doable

you have to consider that people making this are a) always buying cheap used import cars with around 70k miles that are easy to fix, b) never ever considering private schools (hell, getting into an ivy would be the best thing--they wouldn't pay a dime), c) spending SIGNIFICANTLY less than most xoers do on takeout and going out to eat. if proles eat out it's usually fast food, maybe go to a restaurant once every couple weeks.

you're taking home about 45k on 60k married with kids, and a 170k mortgage is probably about 1200/mo. it's more than doable to actually own a home on this salary in are country and build a little equity. obviously expensive metros are different, where you rent paycheck to paycheck and just have to save what you can.

Outside of seattle. Lucked out buying at bottom of market. Could not afford it today. Kept starter home as rental but don't make any cash off of it.

Don't eat out much. Simple vacations. My kids are all small, 7 and under. I'd like to pay for catholic school but I don't think we qualify for any tuition assistance. That's probably my only regret. Another year for pslf.

How much is left on your mortgage on the starter home? Once that's paid off, you can probably make a nice profit on it as a rental, right? If you've got a lot of equity in it you could also refi it to make it cash flow.

It’s doable in a low COL area, but it has to be a SAHM situation OR family help. 2 income would not work otherwise because kids get sick a lot and need somebody to have flex work schedule or be at home.

Not really doable in OC unless you cram 10 Mexicans under one roof in la habra.

XO is full of status-conscious aspies who assume, based on internet bluster and the retarded flame they read on XO especially, that they're ruining their lone chance for happiness if they're not able to retire as multimillionaire equity holders at 50 years old.

in reality, most people, including most of our middle class parents, understand and understood that they would have to work shitty jobs to pay the bills until their mid-to-late 60s, and then retire with decent security if not luxury.

you make intense sacrifices when you have kids and have to learn to run a serious household budget. $60K isn't much and it means poverty if coupled with kids in our society. but millions of people are living within these means. it's just a different standard of expectation and a lifestyle that most of the idiotic neckbeard gamers and ugly, unremarkable lawyers on ZoZo are too myopic to comprehend. xoxohth.
