[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]why are you posting on DCUM if you're in Delaware? I totally get that people can live easily on 100K/year in certain parts of the country, but in the metro DC area, you're not going to find a house, or even an apartment for 100K in a safe area with reasonable schools.[/quote] Suit yourself. Running a COLA calculator gives us an HHI of ~154k if we lived in DC metro. Also, most people who work in DC don't actually live there (like 75% or so). http://money.cnn.com/calculator/pf/cost-of-living/index.html[/quote] And you don't think there's a big difference between 100,000 and 154,000 (an over 50% effective salary increase?) no wonder your perspective is skewed! Also the COLA in the DC inner suburbs (i.e. Within a one hour commute) is pretty much on par with DC proper.[/quote]
