[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"Because paying your 2K student loan payment every month (which is the payment for a PUBLIC law school or medical school), and paying your 3K mortgage (for a house that was considered middle or even working class in the 80s and 90s, but is now very expensive), and paying 3K a month (at least) for daycare or a nanny for 2 kids, while very costly, does not feel luxurious, yet that (plus 28% or so in taxes) is where the majority of your money goes. " This. It is so aggravating to talk housing with slightly older colleagues who are like "why don't you just buy in Bethesda?" Well, because I did not buy pre-2000 and kids are expensive when you salary comes from 2 relatively similar pay checks vs one high earner and a SAHP. [/quote] +1 I went through this too, right down to coworkers telling me to buy in Bethesda. When I told them my daycare bill, they were shocked. [/quote]
