If you were married, how much was your HHI at 25?

That was 2012 btw. 2017, and our household income is $190k, and we are fed and non-profit 29/30. We have one toddler, and a townhouse. I'm happy with how our lives are progressing.

Imagine how well you would be doing if you could get back to the South. (I'm partial to it myself.)

This is very aligned with what we make at 24. I'm 55K and he is 160k with bonus (quarterly). I don't know if he will move up much higher unless he gets the job with Facebook he's interviewing for.

What does DH do? Software engineers at FB make between 120-140k.

Hubby is very specialized and very talented. He makes 160K with bonus at a small cyber security firm.

They're overpaying.

90k then, 20 years ago, in a rural area with lower COLA. 160k now in the DC metro. Not all professions receive large raises.

Nope actually his boss constantly apologizes and says he should be paid more. He is at the Senior level at 27 years old

90k in a rural area is balling. I hope you saved up a lot
