[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Another out of town lurker here with a prospect to relocate. Many of you seemed to earn a bundle in the 90s before the housing boom. I was still in high school then. How do people in their early 30s and younger manage in DC?[/quote] I am 39 but I did not make a bundle in the 90s. HA! That makes me laugh! I was an impoverished Hill staffer living in shared housing. I think my starting salary was $22K. Yep, it was. That was '97, [u]with a Master's degree[/u], for which I then had to pay student loans! And then we bought at the top of the market in '04, right after we got married, so yeah, no luck there either. Just guerilla-style frugality and Irish stubbornness. [/quote]
