[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Define “around here” - DMV suburbs inside the beltway? Outside the beltway? In DC specifically? What area (Falls Church, McLean, Bethesda, Silver Spring?) I would say you can “scrape by” on 150k, and be comfortable (but still feel middle class and worry about money) at 300k. To not feel middle class, 600k+. [/quote] Anyone who feels middle close on an HHI >$400k either has a spending problem or a very warped sense of middle class. [b]Middle class is not private school, luxury cars, and regular international vacations[/b].[/quote] 400-600k is not those things, either. A decent private in this area for two kids is ~80k in after tax dollars. If you're doing that on 400k you're absolutely stressed about money. Add in international travel and a couple of BMWs and you have a real problem.[/quote]
