[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is DC, so being smart and well connected are usually a lot more "prestigious." What makes me happy about being "rich" is that we can give one-third of our income to our favorite causes and candidates. As a result, my DC is comfortable at the White House and the halls of power. I bet my DC knows more MoCs than the typical K Streeter. The behind the scenes tours at the Smithsonian and the zoo are really special.

Our lifestyle means Martha's Vineyard in the summer, Asia in the fall, a warm weather trip in the winter, and Europe for spring break. But, we prefer nice AirBnBs to $1000/night hotels and we only fly first or business on miles. Our vintage Porsche cost less than the Toyota SUV. Yes, we had a nanny when DC was little, but we shared her with another family so we could pay for a more skilled/qualified one than we could otherwise afford. We only hired a housekeeper after the spouse and I argued over the chores. Private school tuition isn't a big deal, but I prefer to have my own cooking for lunch rather than eat out.   We still get most of our books from the library than Amazon. I once had a very expensive watch but after losing it within six months, I've stuck to Timex ever since. Minibar and Komi are great, but I can't eat like that more than twice a year. I'm a regular at fast casual Cava and Sweetgreen.

Nobody prefers air bnb (really?) to $1000/night hotel.[/quote]

And nobody who donates enough to get their kids comfortable in the White House and "halls of power" has to use a nanny-share.

Clearly a repeating troll coming up with multiple posts.[/quote]

I'm new around here and I have met a few people like the pp. [b]My impression is that there are a lot of social climbers in DC[/b].[/quote]

Is it that obvious?
