[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are in our mid 30's with two school-aged children. We live in a 4 bdrm. colonial in Arlington. We are getting ready to do a pretty substantial addition. Prior to that, DH bought a townhouse in Arlington at age 27 which we sold in 2005 (to have the money to buy our current house). We are not lawyers and have never received any type of financial assistance (after graduating from undergrad) from our parents. [b] So, you don't have to be "Biglaw" or have a trust fund to make it in this town. [/b] DH has a really good job, we send our children to a great public school, and we live within our means. [/quote] While that is true, you aren't really "making" it. Your kids go to public and you live in Arlington. Just saying. So you should stop making subtle digs at "biglaw" and the income it provides.[/quote] I think the pp was just trying to make a point based on all the other posts referring to lawyers. Arlington is a very expensive area to live in. And nothing wrong with sending kids to public schools. You sound pompass.[/quote] Arlington is still second tier. Lets not kid ourselves. No one who can afford DC private schools or McLean houses moves to Arlington. It's the worst of all worlds. [/quote] Are you seriously suggesting McLean is some sort of ideal? Seriously? I'd rather cut my leg off then live there. It would be nice to have more money but I sure as hell wouldn't spend it in McLean. Holy crap.[/quote]
