I'm not saying that someone who's about to get forclosed on should spend like a drunken sailor, but if you and your spouse are bringing in close to $300k a year why live like a monk?
Especially if you are young and don't have kids.

Well, the plan is to have kids within the next year or so. The thought of private schools in New Orleans terrifies me. The prices are astronomical. I can't even fathom how these high school educations are worth $10k-$20k a year, but for some reason they are.
I should have noted in there that we do still travel very well. We usually take a +/- $10k summer trip every other year, ski in Montana almost yearly (fortunately we have a free place to stay), and go to San Francisco on average twice a year. I'm not eating ramen and bailing on friends regularly to save money, but I think we are far more frugal than my friends I see eating out & drinking 5 nights a week. They're the same ones that barely have any savings or a lackluster 401k/IRAs. But to each their own.
