Late 30’s, local government attorney, 8 hours/day unless in trial or called out on special assignment, $56K (but I don’t live in DC area, live in a small rust belt town). My school loans are all paid off so my salary is decently comfortable although it seems very low compared to most responses.

Also have generous leave that has never been denied, and a good pension/retirement plan.

1. Do you have to fix things yourself or just call people to do it for you?
2. What do you do with all your spare time?

Yeah. This is the only post that seems off. Our property manager does nothing. We have a separate maintenance person and the property manager’s assistant does all the work.
