live off around 100k a year, have a home, 2 vehicles, 2 kids, private school, full time nanny/housekeeper and still have plenty of money left for hobbies. It's all about budgeting

There is no way I could afford private school or a nanny. No way.

And we tightly budget everything - have for 4 years. I'll admit the student loan debt is the 600 pound gorilla in the room, but a lot of that is prospective - I've only paid about $7k over the past 3 years, and I'm going to be exceeding that every year for the next 7. However, that's it.

No way I could afford the freight for the stuff you guys describe. I should be in a $200k house, and would be, but for the student loans, but that's it.

AND I'm not maxed out on retirement yet.
