[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Very few people are in McLean on solely their own merit, so to speak.

There are WAY more $900,000 homes in McLean than there are $2 million homes in McLean.  The typical couples I know are only able to live here because they waited until they were older to have kids, plus they rolled lots of appreciation on prior properties into whatever they live in in McLean.  Family money is also a big one that helps people buy properties in McLean.  (The ladies I play tennis with were all talking about how their parents helped them at some point buy their homes - stupidly, at the time, I was shocked.)

There are lots of feds here, and the median HHI is still DCUM "poor".  The median HHI is only about $180,000.  While there might be some SAHMs living high on the hog, many of them are fairly educated and had careers at some point. ([b]I know SAHMs who are Harvard Law graduates and Rhodes scholars.[/b])  A lot of the SAHMs in the area decided to stay at home because two careers became too much to manage.

In my 10 years living here, I've never met a woman who gets her hair blown out every day or every other day.  While I don't doubt that some women do this, it is not common.[/quote]

You know multiple SAHM Rhodes scholars in McLean??[/quote]
