Awww, thanks ASU.

I currently use about $5,000/year and I live in yuppie Berkeley. The school hands me $6,000- $10,000/semester (grants are random).

People tell me it's not humanly possible to live off so little here. I laugh.
I do plan on having a child. I also plan on living the next 5 years in Ohio, where I will be earning $25,000/year (teaching fellowship, grad school). Looking at cost of living... and the fact that Tt will be contributing to the household...

Honestly, I don't see my goal as unrealistic in the slightest. Where do you live, Martian, and what kind of lifestyle do you lead? I can't imagine spending $10,000/year on myself, much less $60,000.
