[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] We're a family of four living on 100K a year in close-in DC burbs. Kids go/went to public school. One is in college. This board is a bubble.[/quote] Boomers and gen-x live in a bubble. You have no idea how much costs have skyrocketed since you were starting out decades ago. [/quote] Stop making sweeping generalizations about entire generations. I’m a late Gen Xer and you are living in a bubble if you buy the idea that boomers and Gen-Xers are all well off. And we have all experienced the cost of living increases in this country. We bought a small house in 2009. We def consider ourselves lucky. But it’s a 2200 sq ft house that most DCUMers would call a sh$t shack. Our cars are all over (or close to )10 years old. My kids have been to like 1/10 of the places most DCUMers claim to have taken their kids to on this board. Save your contempt for the cooperations and lawmakers who don’t give a F about the middle class and are more concerned about quarterly profits. [/quote]
