We make enough to get by, and are able to afford our necessities and some extras, but we definitely aren't constantly going on vacation, or out to eat, or buying expensive clothing. Everything has to be budgeted. But I think the trade-off is totally worth it, and wouldn't trade being home for more money.

Also, even though DH & I are nowhere close to living in a mansion by US standards or making seven figures, I do know we're better off than a lot of people in the US and live in a wealthy area.
