[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]$2 million HHI PP here again. I dont understand how a smart, ambitious 40's plus couple working full time both highly educated earns only $300,000 or $500,000. Basically every couple we know with 2 fulltime workers makes seven figures or minimum very high six figures. $300k-$500k is good at late 20's early 30's. The numbers you read in these statistics include single family households and people with no education. Of course that brings the average way down. But most people in NW DC are two parent, 2 income
Households and making 7 figures HHI by early 40's, regardless of what this article says. [/quote]

Because its unheard of. Let's take some famous talking heads for instance.

Joe Scarborough - annual salary is $5,000,000

Anderson Cooper - annual salary is $10,000,000

Congressman's wife (Jennifer Messner) - annual salary is $240,000

For each partner in a marriage to be making basically what a TV network anchor makes, they'd have to be an equity law partner and/or the CEO of most of the large consulting firms (not an EVP - A CEO). So please just go sit somewhere. I have millionaire friends but I don't count the major of DC elite among those. Now if you're talking about the new-to-town carpetbaggers from the Trump Admin, maybe.
