[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yeah, I don't get it either. I still vividly remember my first $1k paycheck (earned as a waitress--I could not believe how much more I made waiting tables than I did in my prior job as a teacher!) I now make just under $100k and I still can't believe it. We live in a great house in a great neighborhood, we have a nanny, we own 2 cars with no car payment. Honestly if anything I feel embarrassed that DH and I together make $185k because I'm sure this is more than my parents ever made or could ever make. We are rich. But I also don't worry too much about what other people have and try to be grateful and generous. And I'm friends with people who make and have less which helps me keep things in perspective. [/quote] do you live in DC or a close-in suburb of DC? That HHI would be great without a nanny, but a mortgage and nanny in close-in DC metro seems prohibitively expensive. [/quote]
