[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]FWIW, I make $83,000, a nurse, and am 49 years old. One kid. Public School. Hubby makes $125,000 same age..Federal.

Do any of these high earners ever see their children??? Ever?

No one we cannot afford Bethesda. [/quote]

Clearly you haven't looked hard at the market in Bethesda lately.  We have an HHI of 150K year with two in daycare, and we feel like we can afford Bethesda.  Not the biggest grandest house in Bethesda, but there's home out there in the 650K range which would be completely reasonable on your HHI.[/quote]

I would LOVE to see how you handle a 650k house on a 150k income and two in daycare.  150k, you might net $8,750/mo.

Call me conservative, but we make double that and don't even carry that kind of mortgage.[/quote]

the people who think it rough or impossible to have a $4K mtg on $300K HHI are simply insane - or have costly cocaine habits or drive rolls royces or I don't know what.  In today's very conservative lending climate, your house payment (including T&I) shouldn't be more than 28% of your gross monthly HHI.[/quote]
