[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]300k gross for a family of 3 in dmv is close to poverty. You need to make double that in combined income to make ends meet [/quote]
80 percent of the DC area is in poverty?[/quote]

It’s poor even relative to how I grew up back in Europe in 1980s. We had international vacation once a year, visited theaters and museums on weekends, a nice 2br/2baths apartment, after school sports and arts, excellent schools which gave me real transferable skills for life.

If you want to replicate this lifestyle in the US high COLA areas you need around 500k gross income min in my opinion [/quote]

I mean, it not like your opinion is valid.[/quote]

Her opinion is not valid. Many Americans wouldn't even consider a 2/2 apartment to be a house. When I owned a condo, nearly all of our relatives asked when we were going to buy a house. And it does NOT take you 500k to afford a 2 bedroom apartment! Heck most people on welfare have that, plus after school sports, schools and free museums (this is DC after all).[/quote]

It’s all about spending  priorities. I see no point to live in a 5000 sq ft house (which is a financial drag and wasteful ) or even in a townhouse for a family of 3. Europeans spend way less on houses and live in smaller apartments. That’s totally fine by me. But Europeans do travel a lot -to Latin America, Africa, Australia, USA etc.

I’m not willing to give up my passion for travel and seeing what the world has to offer in order to have a larger house in the US while limiting my travel to US national parks. I love US and Canada but it’s just limiting to travel only within one country to me

The whole point of dating is to find someone who is aligned with you. I totally realize that most men won’t be aligned by their values and spending priorities with me. And that’s ok - I’m still able to find relationships that work for me

These men are single because their expectations are not aligned with their  target group [/quote]
