Dude, my household income is $200k and even we have had to make tough decisions like cut back on retirement and savings. Costco trips went from $200 to $5-600. Not sure how the rest of yall are doing?

Sorry, to ask, but what is your family size that you are seeing limitations in your household income at $200k?

Seattle me and my wife while we foster but most of that is covered by the state. I make a ton from 15 years ago living in my car. Finally made enough to start a retirement and buy a house. From 2018-2022 I was able to max out my 401k ($23k~ annually) and basically buy anything I wanted and go on vacation 1-2 times a year. Now, I've cut my 401k contribution to 10%, savings have dwindled, and maybe one local vacation a year when I was traveling globally. Everything but my house is paid off, it's just that basic necessities went up a ton.
