4 kids, 2 not in school yet and therefore requiring full time childcare.

We bought our house in Hartford County for $425K in 2021. Mortgage is about $2500/month.

Combined income last year of about $170-180, this year it should be closing in on $200K. We aren’t living lavishly by any stretch of the imagination, but we have enough for the things we need so we consider ourselves lucky.
