[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I find it ironic that this is a common refrain among transplants who came to DC in the first place for their careers. You’re part of the problem that you’re complaining about. Many of us locals have managed to establish a balanced lifestyle by avoiding transplant strivers as much as possible. [/quote]

+1. Seriously I grew up here and the whining from transplants is unbelievable.  My friends who grew up here are super chill people. [/quote]

Same. I grew up here and don't feel this rat race at all. I work hard and take pride in what I do but I've never felt the need to compete in the "rat race." There's more to life than that. I live in the further out suburbs..maybe that's why? I think my neighbors and I have a pretty good balance. Family first and then work. The few people who I know who are into the rat race always seem so high-strung and they're not from around here. They're the people who have to live in a certain neighborhood, drive a certain car, go to specific schools, and name-drop as much as they can. It's very obvious.[/quote]
