[quote=Anonymous]My husband made around 38k for years in his 20s working at non-profits and a cheap government contractor. The cost of living has gone up so much in DC it's really hard to live on 38k here. I remember being so excited when he finally hit 50k at 30. But we were still struggling. He now makes about 95k at 31. He had to switch careers to something totally different. He has a masters but it turned out to be useless. It really wasn't easy for him to make a career switch but he had no choice because it's hard to survive in this area on low incomes. If you can't find something better paying I'd also look into moving somewhere else with a lower cost of living. [/quote]
