I think you have a mistaken view of what it takes to be a homeowner and a parent. Most people are not SAHMs in areas like DC.

FWIW, my exH and I built our life because both of us worked. In fact, he would not let me stay home with kids (which is why I did not want kids with him because I wanted to stay home only in babyhood). Babies came anyway. I worked.

When we were dating, he would not date a woman who was not making six figures. I am divorced and okay only because I never stopped working.

You need a career first.

Bad example fir egg hi server you were trying to prove. Something about you made you pick and stick with a loser.

Some men do not care about their wife's salary. Some do.
Yeah...family pressure saying I was "too old' to be single...it was a mistake. (He would not call himself a loser...he does okay...GS-15).

A GS-15 is not a loser. The fact that you do says more about you, none of it good. If you can't afford kids on a GS-15 salary, it's on you. You might have to compromise on your home's location or size, but $170K+ is not peanuts. Certainly it's way more than you earn, so it's not clear what gives you the standing to look down on him.

What are you talking about? I am not OP. I was commenting on someone saying something was wrong with ME for marrying a loser. My ex is the GS-15 who demanded a 100k plus earning wife.

Immediate PP...and my point to OP was that a lot of men who make good salaries expect their wives to work and earn a decent amount. Staying home was not an option in my marriage. OP is delusional if she thinks most people SAH. My ex would not even date her.

This is one of the funnier things I've read on here for so very many reasons. PP, I hope to reflect on this insane comment.
