[quote=Anonymous]Here. We're a family of 4 with a mortgage on 100K, but my kids are teens and we pay for expensive activities and tutors, and shop at Whole Foods. Once upon a time, we lived on 60K in a one bedroom rental - all four of us when the kids were young - and shopped at Giant, food on sale, no expensive entertainment. If you live frugally, you can absolutely live on 70K in the DC area. One bedroom, one bathroom. It's how many families live in Europe and Asia. Public school. The question would be retirement and college. You cannot save for those on that income. If you need to do that too, then you have to move much further away, to a low cost of living state.[/quote]
