[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Live in NWDC - near Foxhall Road.  Bought 5 bedroom, older, classic [1920s], home for $1.35 mil, about 5 years ago, in mid-30s.  I truly love our house, its our 2nd and I am happy to live here forever.  We sold 1st house in DC for more than twice what we paid for it in 1999.  Hate to say this, I really do, but there are tons of families around us who live in 2 to 4 million $ homes and are in their lates 20s and early 30s.   Many have some sort of inheritance or family money, others have high-paying jobs as lawyers/lobbists/CEOs/money managers, some have both.  Its depressing if you compared yourself and your "things" to others.  Don't start down that road - no good will come of it.[/quote]

Foxhall, Berkley, Wesley Heights, and Kent are WASP inheritance central. [b]Most of them don't work or bounce around from job to job.[/b] The wives drive Mercedes station wagons and hang out at the Spring Valley Starbucks or Red Door and gossip about each other. Glad we moved out of DC to a less pretentious neighborhood.[/quote]

That is totally not true, PP.  Sure, there are always some trust fund babies like this, and I could name at least 5 off the top of my head, but hardly "most" and certainly not in these neighborhoods of NWDC where *what you do* and *where you went to school* and *how many degrees you have* [i]really matters[/i].   :lol:  I mean this seriously as I am writing it but, it is totally making me laugh and roll my eyes because its just soooooo DC.[/quote]

Most of them did go to top tier schools. That's the life of a legacy. Best example, See:George W Bush. But while there are a lot of big law partners there are a lot of people that live off the 1099s based on grandads hard work.[/quote]
