+1. Good for her, but I don't find this helpful. Not interested in how the trust fund kids live. They also don't have kids so I cannot relate to any of the expenses.

This DC entry is far more relatable. https://www.refinery29.com/en-us/genetic-counselor-washington-dc-salary-money-diary

I wonder if they ever had children. It’s been a few years.

Wow, $655K with no kids. We have a similar income but childcare for 2 kids under 5, plus a mortgage, eats away at a lot of it.

I couldn't get past her skincare routine!

That person still lives with a partner and together they make over $180. It’s clear surviving here on less is really hard

I did that as a teacher. Doesn’t sound too crazy to me.

Not the same kind of work at all. Please.

One last sleuth
You forgot Virginia Hospital Center. It’s easy access from West End which has several middle eastern restaurants. There’s a total wine in Ballston down the street from VHC. And beefsteak, Whole Foods and a gym are walking distance from the west end area.
Visi is also not far and I’m not sure if anyone mentioned Holton Arms for high school.

DH and I make a lot more than this but work nowhere close to these hours. We also have 2 kids. No trust funds or family office for us. She won the ovarian lottery.

This is the only part of the story that I can relate to. Not that still have Netflix; I cancelled that a year ago during one of our budget squeezes.

Unlikely. Indians are a wealthy subgroup in the US, but they do not (yet) have generations in the US with the type of family wealth discussed here.

Boat club dues + sorority, fraternity dues + generational wealth = 100% sure it’s a white couple.
