Reading this worries me too. We're in roughly the same boat but without kids, and that's scary enough. And this month we had a little scare because I have to pay estimated taxes quarterly, and we didn't leave enough $ in the account to pay them without overdrawing the account a bit. Oops. oh boy.

Your "where we are now" is where I so desperately want us to be, but we're not making enough to establish the kind of security we need.
