[quote=Anonymous]All these 250kers who making expensive lifestyle choices and then complaining about being cash strapped are being ridiculous. I've made some of the same expensive lifestyle choices (decent size metro-accessible home in N Arlington) and as a result have less surplus cash, but I made it a choice, and still have plenty of discretionary income to not worry about things too much.

On the flip-side, I have colleagues who feel happier and more secure with ample surplus cash, so they choose to live out in Vienna and beyond. Point is that you cam have it either way...but sadly you can't have your cake and eat it too.

BTW- the federal Clerk example is also ridiculous. The qualifications required to be a federal government employee 100 years ago were possessed by a much smaller segment of Americans than today (e.g. high school let alone college graduates were a much smaller portion of the total population). There is no equivalency here...government service at the time would have been one of the most lucrative professional undertakings out there...[/quote]
