Are they in private school?

All of that matters.

But, I mean, with kids, you're talking about maybe formula, diapers, and basic clothing.

Rice and beans.

Like, what do kids actually need?

We don't need to take them all to Disney every year.

We're just making sure that they're fed, they're growing properly, they're healthy.

That's about it.

But my mom was a public school teacher, so that was also... Which is, I mean, she's not making the big bucks as a public school teacher.

And what you find is, the reality is a lot of people live in...

California making $100,000 household income.

They exist and they make it work.

And yet there's other people who make $350,000 who are in the red every month, paycheck to paycheck.

And so it's really hard to say, well, if they just made this much money, they would be okay.

Because as we know, half of those six-figure earners are paycheck to paycheck.

So you can't just say, well, if they made $200,000, it'd be reasonable.

Because that lifestyle probably necessitates this fancy car that they can't afford, the big house that they can't afford.

But when you go, this is the reality of how much we make.

What can we actually afford?

You just make different decisions and you make it work.
