[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know what you mean, OP.  I have in-laws who live in a city which is much lessexpensive than DC, and, while they themselves are not like this, a lot of people in their social circle are.  It's kind of like they all think they're so fabulous and they're very smug and self-satisfied.  But their houses cost $100K.  I sometimes don't know whether to laugh at them or cry, or a strange combination of both.  Sometimes I feel like I want to pop 1-2 houses in a grocery cart and say, "We'll take two, thanks!"  It's very weird and mind-warping when we visit there, actually![/quote]

But here's the thing..they are richer than most of us because they are not house poor. They can make far less money and have so much more disposable income because they don't have a crazy mortgage like most people in DC. Get over it or move down south or to the midwest if you can find a job there.

I went to college in the south and it was so different. Friends with a lawyer dad and SAHM were at the absolute top of the food chain in Mobile, Alabama, while those same parents in the DC area seem middle of the road. It is all relative.
