[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All of these incomes are insane. Please get some perspective. We do just fine on $80,000/year.[/quote]
Plenty of people get by on that income. Most of them are not paying $40k in private school tuition.The thread is about how people afford private school. If you are able to afford private school on that income, good for you. [/quote]

It's called parochial school, buying an affordable house (hint: over half a million isn't affordable), and, idk, not spending ridiculously? Have you all not heard of Aldi? Paying cash for used cars? If I was making $400k a year, I genuinely do not know how I could spend it.[/quote]

You would start living a little...Aldi? I took a stroll through there and kept right out the front door. There are a few items worth picking up, but I'll pass on everything being some unknown brand.  Cash for used cars?!? Sorry, but not sorry - I work too hard to drive a car that is going to be and out of the shop. No hoopties for me.  If you were making 400K, you would absolutely find a way to spend it. People spend what they make, it's not that hard at all.  Over the course of my life I have gone from making $34k to $170K. I started off driving a Corolla and living in an apartment to now driving a Mercedes and [b]living in a $500K home[/b]. Wasnt' that hard to conceive of or do. If I made $400K I would up the luxury on my car, get a boat and buy a beach vacation home (not even sure if $400K is enough for all of that).  [/quote]

Where around here can you buy a $500k family home? Serious question.

NW, DC. (Petworth). Admittedly, I bought 10 years ago. Today, it would be probably be closer to $650K so I should have qualified that (I always think of it being what I purchased it for).[/quote]

You can buy a very small house or a house in not very good shape or both for $650k in Petworth. $500k in Petworth (ok, $450) is literally the budget that developers have to purchase a house to just completely gut it and flip it. 10 years ago is a ridiculous metric to use in the DC market especially in 2020[/quote]
