DW and I barely top 100k combined. But we are just a couple years out of college and well on our way to FIRE.

to answer the poll:

Age: 26 (me), 29 (DW)
Income: barely over $100k
Total monthly expense: ~$3000
Net worth: ~$200,000
Stuff: House with small mortgage, 2 cars each 7 years old. 2 very young kids (8 mos. and 2 yrs), $275k investment portfolio. gobs of student loan debt at very low interest rates. No other "stuff" like vacation homes, jet skis or boats that require upkeep or suck $$ out of your wallet every month (besides the aforementioned children ).

I'm a civil engineer working at a private consulting firm. DW is an analyst at an investment bank. We live in a fairly low cost of living area/neighborhood.
