[quote=Anonymous]The DMV is Expensive with a capital E, OP! Be prepared for sticker shock with everything from the amount of house you can get for $1.2M (and the public schools that come with it) to car taxes to HOA fee$ (many neighborhoods here are HOAs) to community (Metro and toll roads) the cost of extracurricular activities for your kids. Even a five-day, time-time camp at the local rec center might be $500-$600. For five days. For one kid. It is NOT cheap to live here, and you could feel poor all the time. Many people here live quiet lives of desperation, their credit card debt is exploding. There is a very strong keep-up-with-the-Joneses mentality in the DMV and people love to flaunt their stuff in your face. Many people here quietly feel broke and have imposters syndrome. You've been forewarned.[/quote]
