[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Average income for someone who is 44year old and been a lawyer for 10+ years.  Saw a post on either Insta or Twitter saying she can't afford a $1800 one bedroom apartment.   I was going to respond with a comment saying maybe you not good at your job....
But is it possible for a lawyer who has been practicing for  10 years in a high price one bed apartment not to afford it?  I make 60k, and I am able to afford it..... so if the post is not fake is it just a bad lawyer?

She probably has a lot of law school debt.

10 years out of law schools I was making probably $120-130k as a fed attorney. I don’t think she’s a bad lawyer, just not in big law probably. [/quote]

I hope the post appears again, I think it was troll post, but 120k is still enough  to afford a 1bed room apartment.   It way more than any teacher with BS degree with ever make as of today in FCPS. or maybe after 30+ years[/quote]

Depends on what other debt/expenses she has.  $120k could easily get eaten up by the slog to pay off law school, medical costs, any dependents (those of us in our 40s not infrequently end up supporting our parents even if we don’t have kids of our own).[/quote]
