[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote] Sounds like the article is saying “if you live this very reasonable UMC lifestyle of daycare and shopping at WholeFoods and driving 2 new cars, and having thousands of discretionary income each month, you’re in poverty when you look at what’s leftover! What a ridiculous position.[/quote] You cannot afford any of this on $140K per year in the DC area.[/quote] I have family on Frederick who do this just fine. And the schools are good too.[/quote] I doubt it. Daycare cost is still the killer. $140k isn't enough for 2 working parents. It works fine if one parent makes that much and the other stays home, but that's different from the scenario described in the article.[/quote]
