[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you want to live[b] in DC [/b]and you want decent public schools K-12 and you're starting from scratch in 2016 (i.e. you have zero equity and are purchasing at 2016 prices) then you're looking at $250K and up for a reasonable quality of life and the ability to save for retirement and some for college. There are plenty of people on this website who do it for less but they're omitting the fact they don't live in the District proper or they bought in 1998 (or even in 2006), or they have family money, or they used to be in big-law and saved up $500K for a down payment, or they are raising [b][b]2 kids in a one bedroom,[/b] [/b]or their kids are under 3 and home with a SAHM, or any number of extenuating circumstances that make living on less possible. [/quote] 2 kids in a one BR, that is our sweat and blood , mate . not lumped in with big law. im just saying I bought right before the bubble popped , btw. I dunno life is imperfect , It seems [/quote]
