[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I finally cracked $100,000 last year. I’m a single parent. DD is now in high school and I think I made about $105k total this year with a tiny bonus.

We live in a very small house with one bathroom (the house’s main drawback). Schools are ones in MCPS that many on DCUM denigrate, but they are OK.

We go on one weeklong vacation a year, sometimes driving, sometimes flying. Went to Europe twice with DD. Eating out has been mainly fast casual.

I often don’t even look at the Money threads here because people make so much more. At the same time I think we’ve done fine on a modest income. [

It definitely sounds like you've done more than fine! Thank you for sharing. I know logically normal salaries are more common than not and I grew up with a single mom and I don't think we ever cracked 40-50k the years my dad wasn't around. I think we need to get out of our area and we are surrounded by high high earners - who just picked lucrative careers and had a lot of advantages/connections. And we just aren't there. Maybe minus 2 friends everyone else has insane family money or hhi above 500k and that's just not us and Wil never be but I think I need to remember that's the norm [/quote]
