18. This is very hard to believe, but I've never been there or even
close so I guess it could be true. I can see losing a second income being a big problem, it happened to us but GEEEEEEEZZZZZZ...


Digesting that fact becomes harder when you consider that the Schuetts earn a comfortable living, with Amy, 39, pulling in $150,000 a year as a hospital psychiatrist. True, their income did take a big hit last summer when Brian got laid off from his job as a sales rep for a pharmaceutical firm (he'd been making a base salary of $82,000 a year, plus commissions as high as $24,000).

They WERE use to about 100,000$ more. :sarcasm:

And they do have four daughters to raise, ages four to nine. But still.

4 kids in school...WOW :sarcasm:

The Schuetts don't have any child-care bills (Brian is now a stay-at-home dad). They don't have credit-card debt. They don't splurge on fancy vacations. And they live in a nice but definitely not luxurious home on a three-acre plot in Elkhorn, Neb., just west of Omaha, where the cost of living is, well, livable.


No credit cards, no fancy vacations & no mansion. How in the world is this story true? Someone explain it to me. How can anyone spend this kind of money just living like normal people? :sarcasm:
