[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can't speak for OP, here but I'm in a similar situation.

I think the issue here is frame of reference. We think these salaries are typical because, for us, they [i]are[/i] typical. Everyone in my peer/friend group that I spend time with makes at minimum 100K and we're relatively young (mid to late 20s). We reflexively compare ourselves to those we know.

Frankly, the people making 40-50K 5 or more years out of undergrad don't really register on our mental radar because we don't know them or spend time with them. [/quote]

So snobby and out of touch with reality. [/quote]

I don't think so and I agree with PP. This is a lot of people's reality in the DMV and/or DCUM. If it's not yours, well, that's life. [b]If you do make that much, I would wonder why you don't think the same as PP. It isn't normal or healthy to be entirely empathetic with people in vastly different situations than you.[/b] [/quote]

Okay, you've done it, you've written the perfect parody of a DCUM Money & Finances board post.

Right?[/quote]
