Not sure about the husband. I assume he has an income too so their family income is probably closer to 200k

"My husband is a software engineer, so he makes six figures, too"

I think it's great that she paid it down, but on 225+k/year, it seems like the interesting story would be if she didn't pay it down.

With that income they were actually slow in building up that amount of savings.

In the article, she said eating out was a luxury, "two to three times a week."

I make great money myself and am married, and I don't even eat out that much.
