[quote=Anonymous]I know this is an old post, but I’m always surprised by how much money people feel like they need in DC. We bought (in NE Capitol Hill) in 2010 while I was a GS-14 and he was a medical resident (so earning not even $50K). He’s finished training, so we now make about $300K combined... We have 2 kids, pay a nanny, own a car, vacation a couple times a year, eat out/take out a couple times a week, etc. We have 429s for both kids at $4,000/year and contribute 5% (matched) and 3% (not quite matched) to our 401Ks. As a fed, I’m also building somewhat of a pension. The nanny means we basically break even but with sufficient liquidity to cover home/health emergencies and not worry about not being able to meet our internet/phone/gas/electricity/mobile/water/tv/etc bills. Basically, I don’t feel poor at all, but DCUM makes me feel like I should...[/quote]
