[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]After taxes (Fed and District), private school for 1 and second coming from local DCPS into private, saving for college, retirement, long term care, helping out family members etc. You feel really squeezed. Our brother inlaw in Houston get to take 3 or 4 vacations a year on about $300k a year, we can only take one real one and then have to huff it to Delaware for the weekend. It kind of is a rat race and we're stuck in this income zone for the foreseeable future (thanks biglaw profit slips). [/quote] refuse to read 12 pages of replies but you cannot be for real. you are for sure a 15 yr old bored because you have a snow day. We make exactly half that and feel pretty darn lucky and comfortable. and we live in Bethesda - shock right? FWIW we don't huff it to Delaware for the weekend either. We take 2 nice vacations a year, still put money away for retirement but aren't stupid enough to send anyone to private school. [/quote]
