[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We're a family of four doing very well on a little under $90k.

We live close to downtown, go on European vacations every other year, travel frequently and eat out often. We are also frugal in all other areas and have plenty of money.

It blows my mind that people complain that $300k is poor. It's about the choices you make. You dont have to send your kids to the $2k a month downtown day care, or to $500 a week camps, or live in a macmansion.[/quote]

OP here. Thank you. You're making the very point I've been trying to make. The people complaining that they can barely make ends meet on $200k make disparaging, snobby remarks about those of us who choose to live in Fairfax. [/quote]

I'm betting that 90K family of 4 bought their house 15+ years ago, with kids out of daycare.

As for disparaging remarks about Fairfax - OP betrays her own lack of self esteem re: living in Fairfax.  People aren't disparaging Fairfax but are rightly noting that it's much cheaper to live there than DC or closer in suburbs.[/quote]
Sure they disparaging Fairfax. One snob even said it's a punishment having to live there.[/quote]

Isn't it?[/quote]
