[quote=Anonymous]I've found it to be the case since I moved here last year. Today I ended up stuck in a conversation with a friend complaining about things like paying for parking and toll for a week. Thing is she's an attorney making 150-160k in the gov't AND is single income/no kids AND worked in biglaw for 5-6 yrs pre-govt. I get that she's a GS attorney and is kind of maxed out on salary now, but from what I can see this isn't someone living the high life. For example - she bought a townhouse in Alexandria at the very end of one of the train lines; this isn't someone paying $3000/month for their luxury rental in Rosslyn. And yet to hear the complaining, you wonder - wow are things really tough or is it just that gov't workers complain about money bc that's what they're supposed to do to show everyone how much they are "sacrificing" for their job.[/quote]
