[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What you don’t get is that in high cost areas $100k a year means scraping by. This has been discussed ad nauseum on various threads. If you live in Kansas, $100k is great. In DC or any other places with a high cost of living, you can’t support a family on it at all. If you are single, that $100k after taxes isn’t enough to cover housing and food expenses. [/quote] I think this is what people don't understand. Now a 100k in the DC area is not that much money, and a large number of feds don't even make 100k a year. They are essentially living paycheck to paycheck unless they bought a house 20-30 years ago or have a higher earning partner. The stability of government jobs and the mission is the attraction, not the salary, at least in the DC metro. [/quote]
